An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures 11" x 17"; 20 pages) (Learn More)

Doctor X, the 1932 Michael Curtiz New York City serial killer horror murder cannibalism thriller ("Out-Thrills Them All!"; "The strangest love story ever told!"; "You'll never forget it as long as you live!"; "Mightier than words can describe!"; "The greatest mystery thriller of all time in perfect Technicolor"; based on the play by Howard W. Comstock & Allen C. Miller; a REALLY strange story about a serial killer who is dubbed "The Moon Killer", because he only kills at night, and he also cannibalizes his victims; a newspaper reporter starts working on the case and he comes to suspect that a scientist at the Academy of Surgical Research is responsible, but which one?; the academy is filled with very strange mad scientists, and the head of the academy, Dr. Xavier, who is nicknamed "Dr. X", is the strangest of the group!) starring Lionel Atwill (in the title role as Dr. Jerry Xavier), Fay Wray, Lee Tracy, Preston Foster, John Wray, and George Rosener. Note that it sure seems likely that when the X-Men were created, naming Professor Xavier was a tribute to this wild horror movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is incomplete. Some pages are cut and some are completely missing. There are some poster pages, but some are surely missing. Also note that the pressbook is very fragile and can only be handled with extreme care. It has very real major defects, so please do not bid on it unless you can accept it as it is!

Condition: good. This pressbook has either ads cut out or missing pages or both. Above we noted exactly how many cut ads or missing pages there are, whether or not they affect the poster page, and any other significant defects the pressbook has. It has been folded in half horizontally, which is typical of almost all larger pressbooks. Oversized pressbooks were usually folded in half so that they could be more easily transported. Note that other than the above defects, the pressbook is in very good condition. But please do not bid on this pressbook unless you can accept that it has ad cuts or missing pages.
