(Learn More) The Bride Wore Red, the 1937 Dorothy Arzner poor-girl-romanced-by-rich-man romantic love triangle marriage wedding comedy ("Her most glorious and exciting romance!") starring Joan Crawford, Franchot Tone, Robert Young, Billie Burke, Reginald Owen, and Lynne Carver. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.

Important Added Info: Note that MGM, being the foremost studio of the 1930s felt they did not need to create wonderful posters for their movies, because they had so many top stars, so often their 1930s posters have simple artwork against a white background with a duotone photo of the top stars! However, they knew that they needed theater owners to book their movies, so they spent quite a bit more money on their pressbooks, often making them close to window card size, with an exact color recreation of the window card image on the cover of the pressbook, and the posters on the back cover in full color, and often a full-color sample herald, "tipped in" to the inside of one of the covers! Condition: good, WITH CUTS. Only the covers of this pressbook are present, and all the interior pages are missing (but those were printed on newsprint, while the covers are printed on a quality paper stock), and of course, the cover is virtually the same as the window card, and the full-color poster page, and the herald that was once tipped-in, but is now loose, ARE present (see our images). But please bear this significant defect in mind before placing a bid on this incomplete pressbook. Learn More about condition grades
