Tallas & John Brahm romantic triangle fantasy adventure thriller ("Such Exciting Adventures... Such Exotic Women... -could only happen in fabulous Atlantis - the Lost Continent!"; "Strange! Stirring! Spectacular!"; "...Friends for life... Now enemies to the death!"; "...Chamber of horrors... Where 54 men met their fate!"; "...100 dancing houris [sic] to satisfy a queen's desire!"; "...frenzied men give their lives for her love!"; "'Come with me... to Atlantis where each man finds his Paradise on earth... land of love... land of terror!'"; "Come with me... and find your Paradise on earth!"; "Based on the novel 'Atlantida' by Pierre Benoit") starring Maria Montez, Jean-Pierre Aumont (Montez and Aumont were married at the time), Dennis O'Keefe, Henry Daniell, Morris Carnovsky, and Alex Minotis. Note that this movie is NOT based on the classic myth of a lost underwater city, but instead concerns a lost city in the Sahara Desert, but apparently there were budgetary issues with this movie, because the "lost continent" only consisted of a few buildings! Also note that the IMDb notes this movie as being from 1949, when it was actually made in 1947 (it had three different directors, and apparently had many problems during production, which apparently caused it to be released two years after it was made, even though the posters are clearly dated 1947, indicating it was ready to be released during that year).

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: fair, NO CUTS. The pages were separated at the spine and someone put many staples and much clear tape down the spine, which has yellowed. There are many smudges and stains on the covers. Please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this pressbook. Learn More about condition grades
