[Hollywood]: 20th Century Pictures - United Artists, [1933].. [12]pp. plus [4]pp. separate insert. Folio. Pictorial self wrappers. Heavily illustrated. Folded, as issued, with remnants of paper seal across fore-edge, some pencil erasures from blank portion of upper wrapper, some light external dust-soiling, short breaks at fold at fore-edge, but a very good copy of a fragile item. An original studio publicity campaign pressbook for the first attempt at translating West's MISS LONELYHEARTS to the screen, based on a script by Leonard Praskins, directed by Alfred Werker, starring Lee Tracy and Sally Blane, and produced by Darryl Zanuck. The fact that the adaptation was far from faithful is a matter of record. Tracy was then at the height of his popularity, and the studio went all out with a particularly wide array of publicity art work, including completely different imagery for the one, three, six and twenty-four sheets, and extensive text, as well as a synopsis. Nonetheless, publicity material for the film is uncommon.
