Cool Item Of the Week: Forbidden Fruit pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 05/23/2011 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 each 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 "Forbidden Fruit", the 1921 Cecil
B. DeMille silent romantic murder mystery crime melodrama (about a wife who
becomes a seamstress after her husband spends all their money on alcohol; her
employer hires her to be an escort for a millionaire which eventually ends in
the husband being shot by the police and the wife marrying the millionaire!)
starring Agnes Ayres, Clarence Burton, Theodore Roberts, Kathlyn Williams, and
Forrest Stanley Here is an image of the front cover and the back "poster page" (see larger
images by clicking on these thumbnails). Note that in those days almost every
movie had a completely different image for every single "artistic" stone litho
poster, and that the pressbook had a cover image that was not on any of the
posters! 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!).
