(Learn More) Edge of Doom (released in England as "Stronger Than Fear"), the 1950 Mark Robson religious romantic crime film noir ("The Devil need only whisper to those who would listen..."; "Here, without shame... Is the naked truth about a boy a girl and a sinful crime..."; "Not even the warmth of a woman's arms - can hold a man from killing the thing he Hates!"; "Based on the Novel by Leo Brady"; an extremely dark movie about a young man in a poor slum whose mother dies, and she was very religious, but the local priest will only give her a pauper's funeral, and the young man kills him, and later, a younger priest convinces the young man to confess so as to have divine forgiveness) starring Dana Andrews, Farley Granger, Joan Evans, Robert Keith, Paul Stewart, Mala Powers, Adele Jergens, John Ridgely, and Douglas Fowley. Note that RKO was rightfully very worried about this very dark depressing movie, and they created an ad campaign which gave the impression that the movie was some sort of romantic love story with Farley Granger and several different pretty young women, which was extremely deceptive! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. 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 received 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There are some faint smudges on the covers. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition!
