eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Month: Rumba pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 10/24/2022 As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you this week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES! This week, I have the pressbook from Rumba, the 1935 Marion Gering Cuba/New York romantic crime dance musical ("Dangerous Rhythm! The Dancing Stars of 'Bolero' Together Again!"; Raft and Lombard had a giant hit with "Bolero", so it was natural that the studio wanted to re-team them in a similar "dancing" romantic movie; in this one, Lombard is an heiress and Raft is a half-Cuban half-American gangster/dancer, on the run from the mob in Havana, but then he returns to New York City, and they have a falling out over a winning lottery ticket, but as you can imagine, everything works out in the end and they do some great dancing together!) starring George Raft, Carole Lombard, Margo, Lynne Overman, Monroe Owsley, Iris Adrian, and Gail Patrick Here are images of the front, back, and interior pages: Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
