Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical English Movie Pressbook (English pb; measures 11" x 17 1/2" [28 x 44 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes, the 1935 (released in the U.S. in 1939) Leslie S. Hiscott English crime mystery thriller ("Adapted from 'Valley of Fear' by the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Arthur Wontner (as Sherlock Holmes), Lyn Harding, Leslie Perrins, Jane Carr, and Ian Fleming (NOT the creator of James Bond, but an Australian actor who appeared in 158 movies between 1926 and 1968; as Dr. Watson). Note that this was one of five movies in which Arthur Wontner played Sherlock Holmes. They were made between 1931 and 1937. The first four were made between 1931 and 1935 and were released in the U.S. soon after they were made. The fifth one, Murder at the Baskervilles, was released in England when it was made in 1937, but it was not released at that time in the U.S. However, after 20th Century-Fox and Universal Pictures had great success with their Sherlock Holmes movies starting in 1939, Murder at the Baskervilles was first released in the U.S. in 1941, by Astor Pictures (a company normally associated with re-releases, but in this case, it was the first release of this movie). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned some 1940s Argentinean posters from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this English pressbook, which is a "country of origin" item for this English movie! Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this English 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)! Finally, note that this English 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 lightly across the middle at one time, and lightly folded 2" from the top. It has some creases and scuffs scattered in the cover. There is a small clear tape repair on the inside of the front cover in the middle of the left of the first interior page. Other than the above, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
