(Learn More) The Milky Way, the 1936 Leo McCarey & Norman Z. McLeod boxing sports romantic screwball comedy ("He could whip his weight in cream!"; "Based upon the play by Lynn Root and Harry Clork"; this might be Harold Lloyd's best sound movie!; he plays a mild-mannered milkman whose sister is accosted by two men, and he gets in the middle of them, and he ducks their punches so well that they knock each other out; since one is the middleweight boxing champion, and the other his sparring partner, Lloyd is declared a great boxer, and, at a press conference to tell what happened, the men again manage to knock each other out, so the press arrives to Lloyd and the two unconscious men; after many plot twists, during which Lloyd is given set-up fights so he can lose a championship fight to the champ, the movie ends happily!) starring Harold Lloyd, Adolphe Menjou, Verree Teasdale, Helen Mack, William Gargan, and George Barbier NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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)! 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook was removed from a bound volume and there are tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss down the spine. The interior pages have darkened, more so around the edges. Otherwise, it is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
