Also included is an ad supplement that has 2 pages (Learn More) Old Yeller, the classic 1957 Robert Stevenson Walt Disney family relationship canine dog melodrama ("All the heart, all the excitement of a great frontier adventure!"; "Walt Disney's most dramatic motion picture!"; "Based on the book 'Old Yeller' by Fred Gipson"; about a family whose father has to go off on a cattle drive, leaving a mother and two sons, and the older son has to "take his father's place", and he finds a dog that he initially hates, but grows to love!) starring Dorothy McGuire, Fess Parker, Jeff York, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran, Beverly Washburn (best remembered for her role in this movie!), Chuck Connors, and Spike (in the title role as "Old Yeller"). Note that Spike, the dog that played the title role, had previously appeared in the low budget B-horror movie "The She-Creature". Oddly, this movie did not lead to major stardom (or even starring roles) for Spike, and while he did appear in a total of 11 movies and TV shows over a 12 year period, none were very memorable, and he retired in 1969! 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 the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Finally, 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: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
