OTHELLO 1955 US Pressbook Excerpts

The links below are to materials from the United Artists pressbook to the 1955 American release of Othello. The pressbook provided materials for local theaters and newspapers to promote the film involved, and in this case, obviously, Othello. In this day and age of fluff journalism dedicated mainly to hyping product, this pressbook demonstrates that it was ever thus. Please be aware that a couple of the images are rather large, as I wanted to make sure they were legible and clear. If you have a slow connection, be aware of that.
