The Deadly China Doll pressbook is light on article information or promotional material, but it does use pictures and poster art to sell this action movie. You may remember Angela Mao from her brief appearance in Enter the Dragon. If you haven't seen her other movies, shame on you.

The ballyhoo suggested in this pressbook for The Man from Laramie goes from the typical to the…soap models. Very interesting. We lost a lot of fun marketing when the Internet made pushing a movie too easy.

Wikipedia has a very good write up on this wartime B movie. The East Side Kids tangled with Bela Lugosi in Spooks Run Wild, and Bela also tangled with the Black Dragon saboteurs in his movie, Black Dragons.

Quite a bit of promotion for two teenager and crime movies from Republic Pictures, that’s for sure. I have a fondness for these fold-out pressbooks with sleeves to hold the promotional sheets (see Brain from Planet Arous and How to Make a Monster).

The colorful and provocative cover for this 1948 movie pressbook caught my eye. I'm sure Forbidden Women was a spliced together cheapie set for drive-in consumption. Lloyd Friedgen also released the "throbbing drama of shackled youth" Child Bride (1938). He also edited some episodes of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour (1968). Go figure.

Cornel Wilde was a very good director as well as an actor. In The Naked Prey he uses minimal dialog and relies on the tension of the chase. In the science fiction movie, No Blade of Grass, he again explores the struggle for survival, but on a larger social scale.

One of my favorite film noirs, D.O.A is a bit sappy in the romantic dialog department but the movie still packs a wallop. Edmond O'Brien is perfect as Frank Bigelow, a guy torn between settling down with a great gal who adores him and his urge to sow some wild oats. Unfortunately for him, it gets complicated and the clock starts ticking. You want hard-boiled film noir? This is one of the classics.

An incredible amount of merchandising went into promoting the Lone Ranger, even before he hit the theaters. With television episodes, comics, books, radio, toys, and General Mills and American Bakeries food products already gobbled up by kids daily, a movie would be easy to promote. Hi-Yo, Silver! indeed.

I've not watched Fritz Lang's While the City Sleeps yet, but the pressbook is a large format promotion, and tie-up bonanza, for it. The cast is quite impressive and the pressbook highlights that, too.
