    BAND WAGON, THE (1953)
    [Hollywood]: Loews Inc., 1953. Vintage original pressbook, folio, 17 x 12 1/4" (43 x 31 cm.), pictorial wrappers, 24 pp., front cover detached but present, overall VERY GOOD+ or better.
    A substantial book detailing the MGM promotional campaign for this classic Vincente Minnelli musical, with a script by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and notable performances from Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse and Oscar Levant. This is one of Minnelli's and producer Arthur Freed's most notable films.

    THE BAND WAGON
    triumphs by communicating that determination and excitement so vigorously to us civilians in the audience, its songs and dances tossed up on the screen like colors flung at a canvas. With this testament to the milieu which nourished his own life, Minnelli gives us the whole eight-eighths.
    " (Harvey,
    Directed by Vincente Minnelli
