(Learn More) Flesh and Fantasy, the 1943 Julien Duvivier compilation occult fantasy thriller ("The motion picture above all!"; "Based on stories by Oscar Wilde, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis St. Joseph") starring Charles Boyer, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson, Betty Field, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Robert Benchley, Anna Lee, Thomas Mitchell, Charles Winninger, Edgar Barrier, C. Aubrey Smith, and Dame May Whitty. Note that this was a type of compilation movie that became popular in the 1940s, where the movie would adapt multiple stories by either a single author or multiple authors, and they would either have no connection or be loosely connected. The studio that made the movie would put a bunch of their contract stars into the movie so that they would have "an all star cast". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and only one in the last 18 years! Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500! In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned many hundreds more from this collection. Now we come to the very end of this collection, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, we have the last 23 top quality pressbooks from this collection, and then there are no more! 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! We have several images from each of these pressbooks. 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: good to very good, 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. The covers are mostly separated at the spine and this large pressbook was folded once in each direction, with much wear on both folds on the cover. Learn More about condition grades
