STORMY WEATHER (1943) Pressbook

$2,500.00

[Hollywood]: Twentieth Century Fox, 1943. Vintage original film pressbook, 17 x 11″ (43 x 28 cm.), pictorial wrappers, 20 pp. With one horizontal fold (as issued), a small stamp at extreme right top of outer front wrapper, overall an exceptional example of this extremely elusive ephemeral book, near fine.

STORMY WEATHER, along with CABIN IN THE SKY, is one of only two Black cast films made by major Hollywood studios during the 1940s. Its extraordinary cast includes Lena Horne, Bill Robinson, Cab Calloway, Katherine Dunham, Fats Waller, Dooley Wilson and the Nicholas Brothers. 

I cannot find this book listed in OCLC, and this is the only one I have ever encountered.
