The Thunder Child
Them! (1954)? Sourcebook

by Edogawa Ranpo

The Them! Pressbook

Movie producers put together a pressbook for every movie they sent out for distribution. The pressbook consisted of ready-made news articles on the stars of the movies, and copy-ready ads to send to the newspapers.

Below are 7 advertisements pulled from the Them! pressbook.

Note: These ads are from the collection of John McElwee, from his blog [greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com], and are reproduced here with his kind permission.
