An Original 1947 Vintage Movie Souvenir Program Book (measures 8 3/4" x 11 3/4" [22 x 30 cm]; 14 pages) (Learn More) The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fifth with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "William Shakespeare's Henry V"), the classic 1944 Laurence Olivier English adaptation-of-the-classic-play-by-William-Shakespeare (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Leslie Banks, Felix Aylmer, Laurence Olivier (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as King Henry V of England), Robert Helpmann, Vernon Greeves, Gerald Case, George Robey (as Sir John Falstaff), Freda Jackson, and Renee Asherson. Note that the IMDb says that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1946, but we know that there are lobby cards and stills that are dated both 1944 and 1945, so there was at least an intended release late in 1944 or in early 1945. We wonder if perhaps it first played in very limited release in late 1944 in the U.S. and that there was at least a further limited release in 1947. We know that it received a full scale re-release from United Artists in 1950, but that could have been its first major U.S. release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this program has "Printed in U.S.A." on the back cover and the front cover has "Now for the first time in new wide screen SuperScope and Technicolor". It is the first time we have auctioned this program. There is a different program with a mostly blue cover that is not dated and does not have "Printed in U.S.A." on it. It is quite possible that these two programs are from different years (see above for how this movie was partially released in the U.S. several times between 1944 and 1947), and it is also possible that the other program is an English or Canadian program. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread from this program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are some other pages you are not seeing. Condition: good to very good.
