Description	Pressbook for Song of the South's release in France (Mélodie du Sud). The cover has a die cut circle which frames the glossy publicity photo contained inside. Inside the photo is glued to the front of a staplebound packet of 8 typed pages with other glossy publicity photos interspersed.
Contents	Page 1: Cover photo and publicity point of contact (Georges Guignard). Pages 2-3: Les Techniciens. Page 4: Les Acteurs. Page 5: Glossy photo and description of Brer Fox holding Brer Rabbit by the ears and holding back an eager Brer Bear. Page 6: L'Histoire. Page 7: Joel Chandler Harris: Le La Fontaine Des Temps Modernes. Page 8: Glossy photo and description of Brer Rabbit on a spit talking to Brer Bear. Page 9: 3 Fables En Dessin Anime. Page 10: 3 Oscars Pour "Melodie Du Sud". 2 additional glossy photos also contained though not attached to the packet: Photo 1 is of Johnny, Ginny, Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit looking off screen; Photo 2 is Brer Rabbit puzzling over the Tar Baby. Both photos are stamped on the back with the movie information.
Notes	I thought it was interesting that the final article in the packet, titled "3 Oscars for Song of the South" includes Hattie McDaniel's 1939 Oscar for her role in Gone with the Wind, though the title would lead one to believe the Oscar was for Song of the South.
