RKO Exhibitor Book (RKO, 1941-1942). (Multiple Pages, 11.5" X 14.5")
A treasure trove of movie history, this incredible exhibitor book spotlights RKO's 1941-42 season. Within the pages of this spectacular book can be found previews of such film classics as Citizen Kane with Orson Welles, Disney's legendary production of Fantasia, and the immortal classics Dumbo and Bambi. Of particular interest to science fiction fans is the announced production of Gwangi, with special effects by Willis O'Brien. As fans of the genre know, this film wouldn't actually be made until 1969, and created by O'Brien's protege, Ray Harryhausen. Also, there is a two page spread for Alfred Hitchcock's Before the Fact, later re-titled Suspicion. The book is spiral bound and its leather cover shows light wear. Very Fine-.
