HORSE’S MOUTH

Original British 12 1/4 inch x 9 1/2 inch 8 page illustrated pressbook for the 1958 Ronald Neame Comedy HORSE’S MOUTH, based on the novel by Joyce Carey and starring Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh, Renée Houston, Mike Morgan, Robert Coote, Ernest Thesiger, Arthur Macrae, Veronica Turleigh, Michael Gough, Reginald Beckwith, Gillian Vaughan, Peter Bull and Joan Hickson.

In Ronald Neame’s film of Joyce Cary’s classic novel, Alec Guinness transforms himself into one of cinema’s most indelible comic figures: the lovably scruffy painter Gulley Jimson. As the ill-behaved Jimson searches for a perfect canvas, he determines to let nothing come between himself and the realization of his exalted vision. A perceptive examination of the struggle of artistic creation, The Horse’s Mouth is also Neame’s comic masterpiece.

The pressbook is in very good folded condition.
