Date Sold 7/5/2022Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 20 pages) (Learn More) Dangerous, the 1935 Alfred Green alcoholic theater stage actress romantic love triangle melodrama ("The story of a girl that men regret!"; about an alcoholic washed up former star who meets a young architect, and he inspires her to pull herself together and she does so, but he becomes romantically involved with a beautiful younger woman, which causes her to self-destruct) starring Bette Davis (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Franchot Tone, Margaret Lindsay, Allison Skipworth, John Eldredge, and Dick Foran. Note that Bette Davis gave her usual wonderful performance in this movie (it seems likely her character was based on Jeanne Eagels), but few people consider it to be a classic. Bette Davis won the Academy Award for Best Actress for this movie, but it seems likely that this was just because she had been denied the award the previous year for perhaps her best performance ever, as Mildred in "Of Human Bondage"!

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. Learn More about condition grades
