eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Week: The Key pressbook coversReturn to Cool Item of the Week Archive Added: 09/05/2011 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 covers from "The Key", the 1934 Michael Curtiz (one of the greatest and least heralded directors of all time!; he began directing in his native Hungary in 1912 under the name of "Mihaly Kertesz"; after 64 movies, he was signed by Warner Bros. and moved to the United States where he made many of the most memorable Warner Bros. movies of the 1930s and 1940s, including both "Casablanca" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" in the very same year!; yet because he did not have a distinctive directorial style, he is rarely talked about by film critics) romantic melodrama (set amidst "the troubles" in Ireland with the struggle for Irish independence) starring William Powell, Edna Best, Colin Clive, Hobart Cavanaugh, Halliwell Hobbes, Donald Crisp, and Anne Shirley (in an early bit part as a flower girl!). Here is an image of the front cover and the back "poster page" (see larger
images by clicking on these thumbnails). 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!).
