Savagely Real!"; "A true life adventure feature"; "The Living Desert is the story of the eternal desert - a strange world of incredible ugliness and fantastic beauty, seemingly without purpose of life. How anything can live in this land of heat, sun, sand and soundless space is a mystery to most of us. Yet, where we find only a dead and desolate wasteland, nature finds life. Walt Disney's first feature-length True Life Advanture, The Living Desert, pictorially unfolds again the ancient drama of the struggle for existence. It is unlike anything of its kind ever before brought to the motion picture screen. Our cameras have pried into secrets of nature few have ever witnessed. To see it... is to peer back into time a million years."; winner of the Best Documentary Academy Award) featuring Winston Hibler as the narrator NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 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. Learn More about condition grades
