An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15" [28 x 38 cm]; 11 pages) (Learn More) Keep Your Powder Dry, the 1945 Edward Buzzell World War II (WWII) females-in-the-military WAC (Women's Army Corps) romantic melodrama ("Three women in a man's world") starring Lana Turner, Laraine Day, Susan Peters, Agnes Moorehead, Bill Johnson, Natalie Schafer, Lee Patrick, Jess Barker, June Lockhart, Marta Linden, Tim Murdock, and Henry O'Neill. Note that this was a pretty standard World War II Home Front melodrama about the trials and tribulations faced by women in the Army, but MGM knew they had three glamorous young women, and they wisely sold the movie based on their sex appeal. Also note that this movie was filmed right before Susan Peters' tragic accident (a gun accidentally discharged during a duck hunt, and she was shot, becoming paralyzed from the waist down), but it was not released until afterward. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook was created during the time when MGM (likely in a cost-cutting measure) stopped printing elaborate full-color covers for their pressbooks, and instead solely created several newsprint sections for each movie. It is difficult to know on such movies how many sections were originally created, but there were usually three of them, and if all three are present, then the pressbook is likely complete. In the case of this pressbook, what is offered is solely a single section, which does not have poster images, so there was surely one or more other sections. Condition: fair to good, NO CUTS. This is only one section of the pressbook. It is printed on newsprint and is fragile, as all WWII MGM newsprint pressbooks are! Learn More about condition grades
