William Wyler's Friendly Persuasion, the 1956 William Wyler (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Civil War military family melodrama ("It Will Pleasure You in a Hundred Ways!"; "In gorgeous color"; "Gary Cooper's best since 'High Noon'"; "A great star and a new star make 'Friendly Persuasion'!"; "The world's most talked - about motion picture!"; "From the Book by Jessamyn West"; "Hear Pat Boone"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a family of Quakers who are opposed to violence, and how they deal with the Civil War raging around them; to me, Gary Cooper was mis-cast in this role!) starring Gary Cooper ("in the towering role that tops even his 'High Noon', brings you the sensational new star..."), Dorothy McGuire, Richard Eyer (billed as "Featuring Richard Eyer"), Robert Middleton, Phyllis Love, Peter Mark Richman (billed as "Mark Richman"), Walter Catlett, Marjorie Main (billed as "The Widow Hudspeth"), and Anthony Perkins (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; billed as "Introducing the most exciting new star since James Dean...

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 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was once lightly folded across the middle but has been laying flat for a long time.
