Why they didn't show these titles in the auction catalog is way beyond me, some were much better than the single photo they showed in the catalog. I don't get it.
maybe because the previous hollywood expert with 40+ years experience was aged and priced out as a corporate cost-saving measure? Funny thing is... I was actually thinking the same exact thing!!

They had a "lot" of 70,000 negatives and transparencies, 4,000 lobby cards, it was great to watch the first day with the memorabilia. I was lucky to win the lot of 400+ pressbooks (there were actually 447), and I had gone down there to see the lot, so many were in such good shape with no folds, all uncut so I am very excited. There are pressbooks for 2 reissues of Wizard of Oz, 8 early Bogarts, several Goldiggers of 19'', Meet me in St. Louis, Top Hat, House and Ghost of Frankenstein, Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, High Noon, about 6 30's and 40's Bette Davis, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Miracle on 34th Street, Ziegfeld Girl, Scarface (32), The 39 Steps, The Great Ziegfeld, Disney's Make Mine Music and Silly Symphonies and the first reissue of Snow White, It Happened One Night, When Worlds Collide, Goldfinger, Roxy Hart, 1st "Cleopatra," All Quiet on the Western Front, Bells of St. Mary's, Sergeant York, Footlight Parade, Stagecoach (39), Captain Blood, Thief of Bagdad, Sunset Boulevard, Laura, Way Out West, Forbidden Planet, North by Northwest, Dr. Cyclops, City Lights, The Searchers, Day the Earth Stood Still, Night at the Opera, War of the Worlds, Flying down to Rio, Lost Horizon, Rebecca, Follow the Fleet, Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Rio Grande, I Married a Witch, Death takes a Holiday, Gunga Din, Fort Apache, Gilda, Cover Girl, One Million BC (1940), Shadow of a Doubt, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Lloyds of London, Freaks, African Queen, Stella Dallas, 42nd Street, Destination Moon, Best Years of our Lives, To Catch a Thief, Last of the Mohicans, Beau Geste (39), Captain Blood, Mary of Scotland and so many more (Those are the ones I wrote down when I was there). and so many more. Why they didn't show these titles in the auction catalog is way beyond me, some were much better than the single photo they showed in the catalog. I don't get it. I can't wait to look through these. ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
