A 1948 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Stand-In, the 1937 Tay Garnett Hollywood California movie-making acting stage comedy ("A merry satire on dizzy Hollywood!"; "Based on the Saturday Evening Post Story by Clarence Budington Kelland") starring Leslie Howard, Joan Blondell, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Mowbray, Marla Shelton, C. Henry Gordon, and Jack Carson. Note that Bogart made this movie immediately after "Dead End" (and a year after "The Petrified Forest"), but he was still so little thought of by Hollywood that he was third billed in this movie, and was not pictured on the original paper! It was not until "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon" that Bogart became a first level superstar. This movie was later re-released, headlining Humphrey Bogart, with a large image of him on the posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, in 1948, this movie was given a major re-release, no doubt due to Humphrey Bogart's rise to stardom in such movies as "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca", and of course, for this re-release, it is presented as a Humphrey Bogart movie, and poor Leslie Howard, who had died patriotically in a plane crash during World War II, is not even billed or pictured, even though he was the actual star of the movie! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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 folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
