Bertha was jes' a little bit free'er than most."; "Kissing and killing... One was her hobby the other more like a business..."; "Based on characters contained in 'Sisters of the Road' - the autobiography of Boxcar Bertha as told to Dr. Ben L. Reitman."; produced by Roger Corman) starring Barbara Hershey (in the title role as Boxcar Bertha), David Carradine, Barry Primus, Bernie Casey, and John Carradine. Note that during this movie, Barbara Hershey began a longtime affair with David Carradine. Both known as "free spirits", they never married, but she called herself "Barbara Seagull", and together they had a child who they named "Free" (he was called "Free Seagull" by some, but his birth certificate said "Free Carradine", and later he changed his name to "Tom Carradine"!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
