An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 17" x 22" [43 x 56 cm]; 20 pages) (Learn More) Death Takes a Holiday, the 1934 Mitchell Leisen romantic afterlife fantasy melodrama ("Men feared him -- Women adored him"; adapted from the play by Alberto Casella; a very interesting story of the literal Death deciding to visit the Earth and discover why people fear him so, and while he is on Earth in human form, everyone stops dying, and of course, he falls in love, and the girl, not knowing who he is, wants to go with him when he returns to his ethereal home!) starring Fredric March (in the title role as "Death"/Prince Sirki), Evelyn Venable, Guy Standing (billed as "Sir Guy Standing"), Kent Taylor, Henry Travers, and Kathleen Howard NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is incredibly rare! We have only auctioned it once before. It contains a "tipped-in" large 4-page 11" x 15" newspaper style herald, which is a "faux" newspaper showing what would happen when there are no deaths in the world! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The sections of the pressbook are staggered from each other so that they show as tabs at the bottom, and the bottom section is slightly tattered across that edge. The interior pages are printed on newsprint, and they have somewhat darkened, but they are not very fragile, which is very unusual for older pressbooks printed on newsprint. It is also very unusual for pressbooks that have "staggered sections" to not have many tears in those areas. I would say that this pressbook has survived in about as good condition as one could have hoped. Learn More about condition grades
