(Learn More) Moontide, the 1942 Fritz Lang & Archie Mayo romantic film noir melodrama ("Different! Jean Gabin is not only an altogether new type, girls! He's got a different technique of love making. Don't ask! See it - in Moontide..."; "Thrill to discovering a new star!"; based on the novel by Willard Robertson; a strange movie about a waterfront worker who is afraid he may have killed a man when he was drunk, and he hides out on a barge with his best friend, but he meets a prostitute who tries to kill herself, and he lets her live there as well, and the friend is jealous and afraid that she will leave him the odd man out, and he tries to get rid of her) starring Jean Gabin ("His first American picture!"), Ida Lupino, Thomas Mitchell, Claude Rains, Jerome Cowan, and Helene Reynolds. Note that legendary director Fritz Lang had left Germany to escape Hitler in the early 1930s, and when he began making American movies, what he made was incredibly dark. The credited director on this movie is Archie Mayo, but it is known that Lang directed portions of it, which makes sense, because this movie is extremely downbeat! 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 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 to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
