An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15" [28 x 38 cm]; 5 pages) (Learn More)

Down in San Diego, the 1941 Robert B. Sinclair pre-World War II (WWII) California Nazi spy espionage military Navy sailor Naval battleship romantic melodrama ("Thrill drama of Uncle Sam's great defense base!"; "Based on a story by Franz G Spencer"; about a young man who was involved in a gang who enlists in the Navy, but the gang thinks they can continue to help them rob stuff, and meanwhile, there are Nazi spies that the guy and his girlfriend end up exposing) starring Bonita Granville, Ray McDonald, Dan Dailey (very young and only third billed!), Leo Gorcey (in a rare non-Bowery Boys/Dead End Kids role!), Henry O'Neill and Stanley Clements. Note that this movie was released in August 1941, before the U.S. entered World War II, but it plays like any of the many World War II movies that would soon be released once the U.S. did enter the war.

Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook was created during the time when MGM (likely in a cost-cutting measure) stopped printing elaborate full-color covers for their pressbooks, and instead solely created several newsprint sections for each movie. It is difficult to know on such movies how many sections were originally created, but there were usually three of them, and if all three are present, then the pressbook is likely complete. In the case of this pressbook, what is offered is solely a single section, which does include poster images, so there may or may not be other sections.

Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. As noted above, this may only be one section of the pressbook, or it might be the entire pressbook. It is printed on newsprint and is somewhat fragile, as all WWII MGM newsprint pressbooks are!
