Island at the Top of the World (1974) Pressbook

A lost viking civilization in the Arctic provides the theme for this fantasy film with David Hartman. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too was the other part of the double bill theater showing. Some critics at the time liked Winnie and Tigger more than Hartman. Island’s pressbook, as usual, throws everything into promotion. Did you know that toothsome means attractive? Agneta Eckemyr is described as “toothsome enough to make a mummy drool.” As usual with many pressbooks, female actors were often treated as mostly eye-candy fluff and glamour objects.

The Strawberry Roan (1948) Pressbook

Gene Autry sets his mind to tame a wild horse after it throws a boy and paralyzes him. Autry sings inbetween the taming and the Western drama. This is Pat Buttram’s first movie, although he’s probably more remembered for the Green Acres sitcom with Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor.
