(Learn More) Robbery Under Arms (released in the U.S. in 1958), the 1957 Jack Lee English Australia Outback robbery-gone-wrong action thriller ("From the novel by Rolf Bolderwood entitled 'Robbery Under Arms'"; about Australian brothers who intend to go to work in a gold mine, but they get mixed up with a gang of crooks who stage a daring robbery, and the authorities track them to their hideout where there is a bloody resolution) starring Peter Finch, Ronald Lewis, Maureen Swanson, David McCallum (in his fourth credited movie role!), Jill Ireland (in one of her very first important roles!), Laurence Naismith, Jean Anderson, Vincent Ball, Ursula Finlay, Johnny Cadell, Larry Taylor, and Russell Napier. Note that at the time of the making of this movie, Jill Ireland was married to David McCallum. They remained married for another 9 years, when she divorced and married Charles Bronson (oddly, McCallum had introduced her to Charles Bronson during the filming of "The Great Escape", a movie that featured both McCallum and Bronson!). Note that this movie was based on one of Australia's best loved books (it was first published in 1882 and has never gone out of print!). A bunch of top English actors traveled halfway across the world to Australia to film it on location, and the ending was changed from the book to give it a really violent resolution (which proved to be a tremendous audience pleaser)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie! 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)! Finally, note that this English 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. Learn More about condition grades
