An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Presskit (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; contains 13 supplements, and 13 stills) (Learn More) American Hot Wax, the 1978 Floyd Mutrux New York City biographical historical rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) music melodrama ("1959. New York City. The battleground was Rock and Roll. It was the beginning of an era. You shoulda been there."; "Story by John Kaye and Art Linson"; a very fictionalized biography of legendary disc jockey Alan Freed) starring Tim McIntire (as Alan Freed), Laraine Newman (the Saturday Night Live comic), John Lehne, Jay Leno (in his second credited movie role!), and Fran Drescher (in her second movie role!), with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins (all playing themselves) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that included with the presskit is a letter to movie reviewer Ken Williams from an advertising agency, telling him that they are sending him the presskit now, and that they will be sending him tickets to a special advance screening set for two days before the regular opening. Note that this is one of an excellent collection of 25 presskits we were consigned from the collection of Ken Williams, who was a movie reviewer for the Hamilton Journal News in Ohio! Mr. Williams was often invited to movie premieres and he would reciprocate by getting the studios excellent coverage of their movies in his newspaper! Many of the presskits that he was sent had many more supplements than are commonly seen, and it is quite likely that he was sent some supplemental material that was ONLY sent to special reviewers, and not to movie theaters. This paragraph is on each of the 25 presskits from this collection we are currently auctioning, and each clearly describes what items are included in it, so you can quickly see if there are additional items in this presskit that were not available elsewhere. Many of these 25 presskits are from top movies, and this is a rare opportunity to obtain a "movie reviewer's presskit" for those movies! Note that we have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit and eight of the stills (less than eight if the presskit has less than eight stills, of course). We have noted if the presskit contains any supplements, but we do not picture them. All of the presskits are sealed and ready to be sent, and we cannot answer any questions about the contents, especially about what any stills we may have not pictured show. REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS AUCTION TO SEE HOW MANY STILLS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS PRESSKIT, BECAUSE WE NEVER PICTURE MORE THAN EIGHT OF THEM (and we pretty much picked eight stills at random). Condition: good. All the stills have Paramount snipes attached, and the glue from the snipes has stained an area at the bottom center of each, that varies from still to still.
