Lewis Universal San Francisco California tropical island horror science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("Genius - or Fiend?"; a wild story of a crazed chemist who says he has found a way to bring dead animals back to life, and then he pays a drifter to let him kill him and try to bring him back, and when that doesn't work, he is forced to leave town, and while on a ship, he is shipwrecked on a tropical island where the natives plan to kill him, but he appears to bring the chief's "dead" wife back to life, which lets him take over the island and enslave the natives, and then a man who happens to visit there tries to free the natives!) starring Lionel Atwill (in the title role as Dr. Ralph Benson), Una Merkel, Nat Pendleton, Claire Dodd, Richard Davies, Anne Nagel, and Hardie Albright NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Since pressbooks were INTENDED to be cut up (the theater owners would cut out the newspaper ads to run in their local papers). It is very difficult to find a pressbook that has NOT been cut, and that ads greatly to their value! Condition: very good. Note that this pressbook is one of a great collection of 177 original vintage pressbooks, almost all of which come from Universal Studios. Most date from the 1940s and 1950s, and almost all are complete and uncut! cover is separated down spine; folded in half; small paper loss in left edge of front cover Learn More about condition grades
