A 1937 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 8 pages). Also included is an ad supplement that has 14 pages and a Complete Exploration Campaign for the Showman Book (measures 9" x 11 1/4"; 15 pages) (Learn More) Corsair, the 1931 Roland West business romantic crime thriller ("Roland West's thrilling production from the Liberty Magazine serial novel by Walton Green"; "Things began to happen when this football hero - became a pirate in flannels!") starring Chester Morris, Thelma Todd (billed as "Alison Loyd"), Fred Kohler, Ned Sparks, Frank McHugh, Mayo Methot, and William Austin. Note that Thelma Todd was billed under her real name when this movie was made in 1931. It was re-released in 1937 by Artcinema, and it they oddly did not bill Todd at all on any of their re-release posters or lobby cards (perhaps because Todd had tragically died in 1935), but she was prominently pictured on the 1937 re-release items. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook comes with a cool separate "publicity section" and also a separate booklet that is a "exploitation section". 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)! Also 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, NO CUTS. There is some scuffing and some pink staining down the spine of the front and back covers, but otherwise, the pressbook and its supplements are in nice condition!
