Venomous - or Virtuous?"; "His Greatest Role Since 'Mr Chips'!"; "A wonderful slice of life... carved out of the whole human comedy... sprinkled with laughter... flavored with a tear..."; about a parson of a small town who faces a life crisis) starring Robert Donat, Kay Walsh, Denholm Elliott, Adrienne Corri, and Walter Fitzgerald NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie! 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. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Finally, note that this English 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The covers are almost completely separated at the spine and there is a large studio-issued snipe glued to the top of the front cover.
