Secretary-of-State-confirmation melodrama ("Are the men & women in Washington really like this?"; "Otto Preminger spotlights the men and women of Washington D.C.. on the record and off!"; "Based on the novel by Allen Drury"; about the wheeling and dealing that is necessary in order to have the Senate confirm a Presidential nominee for Secretary of State; the process is worse today than it was in 1962, but in this movie, there is the revelation that the nominee was once a member of the Communist party and lied about it under oath, and a Senator on the confirmation committee is a closet homosexual Mormon from Utah, and he commits suicide when he is confronted with blackmail!) starring Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton (in his final movie role), Don Murray, Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lawford, Gene Tierney, Franchot Tone, Lew Ayres, Burgess Meredith, Eddie Hodges, Paul Ford, George Grizzard, Inga Swenson, Paul McGrath, Edward Andrews, Will Geer, Betty White, Tom Helmore, Hillary Eaves, Rene Paul, Michele Montau, Paul Stevens, Russ Brown, and Malcolm Atterbury NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this is a really elaborate pressbook, because the covers are printed on a heavyweight window card-like paper, and they are both die-cut so that they form a "handle" at top center, which makes the entire pressbook appear to be a "briefcase" (no doubt filled with "top Washington secrets"). We have only auctioned this pressbook once before (when it auctioned for $136), and having seen it, we know why, because surely very few survived, especially with the covers intact! 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)! 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle and has paper loss in the front part of the "handle" and creases, scuffs, and tiny surface paper loss scattered on the covers. Learn More about condition grades
