Hollywood: Paramount Pictures, 1951. Original pressbook for the classic 1951 film noir.
Nominated for four Academy awards, including a Best Supporting Actress nod to Lee Grant, in her film debut. Grant also won the award for best actress at Cannes. A powerful and complex film, one of the keystones of the noir cycle. A day in the life at the 21st Precinct, centering on the hard-boiled, moralistic Jim McLeod (Kirk Douglas).
20 pages, saddle stapled, 12 1/4 x 15 inches. Very Good condition. Separation to the hinge fold and a light amount of soiling to the wrappers. Faint horizontal fold crease at the center of the wrapper and pages.
