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!

So below is the pressbook from Night Must Fall, the 1937 Richard Thorpe crime murder mental illness psychopath thriller ("Amazing! Different! Unique!"; "His most startling role"; "'It's awfully h e a v y...I wonder whats in it?'"; From the play by Emlyn Williams) starring Robert Montgomery (in his nominated for Best Actor Academy Award role; "MEET ROBERT MONTGOMERY in the most daringly different role that ever flashed full-blooded from a sizzling silver screen!"), Rosalind Russell, Dame May Whitty (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), Alan Marshal, Merle Tottenham, and Kathleen Harrison. Note that this movie was re-made in 1964 with Albert Finney in the lead role!

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior spread:

 

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
