Finally, note that anyone who saw this movie remembers well the archery contest which comes down to Errol Flynn in disguise and Owain the Welshman, but few people know that Owain was played by the world's greatest archer, Howard Hill, and that he also did Flynn's bow and arrow stunts shown in the movie!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and it sold for $4,951 (that example had an extra really cool cover, that this one does not have). We think the pressbook was distributed both ways and that the one with the extra cover was for special theaters, and that this one was for "regular" theaters. 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)! Note: We have 14 images of this pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 14 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 4. Condition: fair to good, WITH CUTS. Two interior pages (pages 17/18) are missing. This very large pressbook is folded across the middle and it has much wear across that fold. The covers were separated at the spine and there is tape down the spine, and tears and tiny paper loss around the edges of the covers. Learn More about condition grades
