Educational Promo Kit (12" x 15")
Very Fine+
Universal, 1960

While this piece for Spartacus has the title of "Education Kit" on the cover, it's in fact a really unique hybrid of a press kit and historical set. Containing nine full-color scenes from the film but also maps, guides, and pamphlets with parallels to the real leader of the slave revolt, it provides a fascinating look at both the film and the events that inspired it.

This unique kit has an outside folder that has wear to the spine and some chipping, tears, and creasing, but the items inside, including a bookmark, brochure, program, folded poster, and two pamphlets, are all clean. The nine lobby cards in a sleeve are also all in terrific condition, with just a long vertical crease through the title card only. Overall a very presentable piece.

This historical epic was the only film Stanley Kubrick made without a guarantee of creative control, having been brought in by his Paths of Glory star Kirk Douglas - also a producer - after original director Anthony Mann was fired. The film went on to win four Oscars and is regarded as the high point of the swords-and-sandals genre.

Estimate: $400 - 800
