All the awesome spectacle and savagery of darkest Africa... in CinemaScope"; "They live the love-adventure that sets the Dark Continent aflame!"; "All the splendor and pageantry of 'King Solomon's Mines'- and all its mighty thrills and love drama!"; "Raging Jungle Love! Rampaging Beasts! Ravaging Mau-Mau!"; "In deadly Mau-Mau land... while jungle throbs and beasts roar-"; "Murderous Mau-Mau! Maddened beasts! Mighty Jungle-love!"; "Produced by Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli", note that Broccoli went on to produce the James Bond series of movies, which Irving Allen did not want to produce, because he did not think that they were even good enough for television!; a few years later, Allen tried to make up for his massive blunder by producing the series of Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin, but the only way he could get Martin to star was to make him a partner, which meant that Martin made more money from The Silencers in 1966 than Sean Connery made on Thunderball the previous year, and Connery was not happy about that at all!) starring Victor Mature, Janet Leigh, John Justin, Roland Culver, Liam Redmond, Earl Cameron, and Orlando Martins 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. There are scuffs and smudges scattered on the covers and the covers have much separation at the spine. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty good condition.
