This 1942 movie, starring Gary Cooper as the Iron Horse, was not released in Japan until 1949 (despite the fact that someone has neatly written "1942" in ink at the bottom right corner of the cover). We have previously offered five different Pride of the Yankees pamphlets, but this is the first time that we have encountered this particular pamphlet. The inside pages contain both Japanese text and photos. There are two photos featuring Babe Ruth (who had a small part in the movie) and three with the real Lou Gehrig. One photo is of Ruth, Gehrig and 1934 Tour of Japan organizer Sotaro Suzuki (HOF).

Size: 7 1/8" x 10". 16 Pages.

Condition: Would be Ex/Mt but for "1942" written in lower right corner.
