Cool Item Of the Month: Arsene Lupin pressbook

Return to Cool Item of the Month Archive
Added: 12/19/2022

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 Arsene Lupin, the classic 1932 Jack Conway France master thief crime thriller (based on the novel by Maurice Leblanc) starring John Barrymore (in the title role as Arsene Lupin), Lionel Barrymore (in one of their few movies together), Karen Morley, John Miljan, and Tully Marshall. One of the great strengths of the movie is the interactions between the master thief and the detective who wants so badly to catch him, and it is made even greater by the fact that they are played by real life brothers! Note that Arsene Lupin is one of the two most legendary French crime figures, the other being Fantomas. Arsene Lupin was introduced in 1905 and Fantomas in 1911. Unlike Fantomas, who would do anything to get what he wanted, including murder, Arsene Lupin was a "gentleman thief", who did not hurt the people he robbed, and was kind of a "Robin Hood"! There have been a number of different Arsene Lupin movies over the years.

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!).
