"Pressbook in excellent condition (rare to find it in this condition)! The Cincinnati Kid must be one of the top 10 poker-playing movies of all time. Pressbooks, long ago, were sent to movie theatres by the film studios to advertise the films. They included everything imaginable about the movie: picture advertisements for newspaper ads, stories about the movie, production, actors, plot, ideas on ways to promote the film, etc., etc.
"Overall Condition: excellent, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It is folded across the middle, but otherwise, it is very nice condition! Very rare. Excuse my poor pictures above.
"Film Description: The Cincinnati Kid, the 1965 Norman Jewison gambling professional poker card playing thriller ("He'd take on anyone, at anything, anytime... It was only a matter of who came first!"; "In the everything wild, winner-take-all world of The Man and The Kid, there was only one way to separate the men from the boys."; "Hear Ray Charles sing the title song!"; "Based on the novel 'The Cincinnati Kid' by Richard Jessup"; "Screen Play by Ring Lardner, Jr. and Terry Southern"; set in 1930s New Orleans, Louisiana) starring Steve McQueen (in the title role as The Cincinnati Kid; "The Kid..."), Edward G. Robinson (as Lancey Howard; "The Man..."), Ann-Margret (as "Melba..."), Karl Malden (as "Shooter"), Tuesday Weld (as "Christian"), Joan Blondell (as "Ladyfingers"), Rip Torn (as Slade), Jack Weston (as Pig), Cab Calloway (famous black African American singer and entertainer, who made many movie appearances as himself, performing, but in this movie, he had a rare non-singing dramatic role, as "Yeller", one of the poker players in the "big game"), and Kenneth Grant Sr. (in a memorable uncredited role as the shoeshine boy who lags dimes with Steve McQueen at the beginning and end of the movie)..
"Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (first picture above). Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!"
