DARK MAN

Original British 12 5/8 inch x 9 3/4 inch 16 Page Fully Illustrated Pressbook for the 1951 Jeffrey Dell Thriller THE DARK MAN starring Edward Underdown, Maxwell Reed, Natasha Parry, William Hartnell, Barbara Murray, Robert Long, Cyril Smith, Geoffrey Sumner, Sam Kydd and Harry Fowler.

At a farmhouse in a lonely wood, ruthless killer “The Dark Man” (Maxwell Reed) murders a petty criminal. He then shoots the taxi driver who drove him there, knowing he would be able to identify him. However, the murder is witnessed by a young actress, Molly (Natasha Parry), who is passing by. The Dark Man now has reason to silence her as well. When the police investigate the murder, Inspector Viner (Edward Underdown) is assigned to the case, and soon develops romantic feelings for Molly. Meanwhile, The Dark Man continues to stalk his prey, and is foiled in an attempt to strangle Molly at her home – but continues to pursue her. The climax comes with a desperate chase across a desolate landscape near The Old Lighthouse, at Dungeness on Romney Marsh in Kent.

The pressbook is in very good condition. The cover has slight separation along the spine.
