Gaumont British Exhibitor Book (Gaumont,1936-37). Exhibitor Book (9.75" X 13") .
This fantastic exhibitor book is from the heyday of Gaumont British Studios, which had become independent of its French parent company in 1922. The book is full of color illustrations from such films as The Hawk with Constance Bennett, King Solomon's Mines, and Doomed Cargo. Two interesting pages are from an Alfred Hitchcock film entitled The Hidden Power originally set to star Robert Donat and Sylvia Sydney. The title was later changed to Sabotage, and Hitchcock ultimately selected John Loder as the lead, as he was unable to get Donat due to the actor's health problems. There is minor wear on the spine, but the interior pages are in like-new condition. This is an important piece of cinema history, a real treasure for any film fan. Very Fine. *****
