An Original 1938 Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Rat, the 1937 (released in the U.S. in 1938) Jack Raymond English romantic crime melodrama (about a cat burglar called "The Rat", who is the most celebrated resident of France's slums, and a rich society woman meets him and becomes infatuated with him) starring Ruth Chatterton, Anton Walbrook (in the title role as Boucheron/The Rat), Rene Ray, Beatrix Lehmann, and Mary Clare. If this movie sounds remarkably similar to Pepe Le Moko (made the same year), it is because it is, but this was a remake of a 1926 silent movie of the same name! Note too that both movies were based on a play that was written by actor and actress Ivor Novello and Constance Collier (Novello starred in the silent version)!

Important Added Info: 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 received 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There are some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss down the spine, with some other tiny tears around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
