Seller's Description

Original British 14 1/2 inch x 9 1/2 inch 16 page illustrated Pressbook for the 1947 Roy Boulting Drama FAME IS THE SPUR, based on the novel by Howard Spring, with a screenplay by Nigel Balchin and starring Michael Redgrave, Rosamund John, Bernard Miles, Carla Lehmann, Hugh Burden, Marjorie Fielding, Seymour Hicks, Tony Wager, David Tomlinson, Milton Rosmer, Wylie Watson, Ronald Adam, Honor Blackman, Campbell Cotts, Maurice Denham and Kenneth Griffith.

When a young man from a North country mill town (Michael Redgrave) commits to help the poverty stricken workers in his area, he takes as his Excalibur a sword passed down to him by his grandfather from the Battle of Peterloo, where it had been used against workers. As an idealistic champion of the oppressed, he rises to power as a Labour M.P., but is seduced by the trappings of power, and finds himself the type of politician he originally despised.

Cover art by Roger Hall. Roger Hall was born in London 1914. At the age of 15 he began work as a junior for London Art Service and after 3 years experience he then joined Art Display Services until his call-up in 1941. In 1946 he joined Pulford Publicity churning out 2-3 posters a week producing around 300 posters before he resigned in 1953 to take up bookjacket illustration.

Cover design by Eric Pulford (1915 - 2005).

The pressbook is in very good condition with a tiny nick in the cover.
