Date Sold 12/27/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded International Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Les Nuits de Raspoutine (released in the U.S. in 1962 as "The Night They Killed Rasputin" & "The Nights of Rasputin"), the 1960 Pierre Chenal Italian/French semi-historical semi-biographical Russian Revolution romantic thriller ("The story all true! The man all evil!"; "Women Hungrily Sought His Embraces as He Taught Them Salvation Through Sin!"; "NOW SEE the incredible life of a wild fanatic whose indiscretions were the shame of a nation!"; "No Woman Could Resist Him... No Power Could Stop Him..."; about the famous Russian "Mad Monk" who became the power behind the throne in pre-Russian Revolution Russia) starring Edmund Purdom (in the title role as Rasputin), Gianna Maria Canale, John Drew Barrymore (billed as "John Barrymore Jr."), Jany Clair, and Ugo Sasso NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a poster or lobby card that was printed by MGM for a European movie that they distributed in the U.S. Somewhere in the early 1960s, MGM apparently made a huge "trade" deal with European movie distributors. From the early 1960s to the late 1960s, MGM released 100 or more non-U.S. movies in the U.S. under the MGM logo (some dating back to the 1950s), and in return, they apparently gave 100 or more MGM movies (from the 1950s and early 1960s) to those European distributors to release in Europe. All of the posters from both sets of releases have a very similar type of somewhat garish, very colorful artwork, and some have an MGM logo that is different from than on other MGM movies of the same time period, which makes it likely that those (with different logos) are from re-releases. None of these posters (except for the very first few of them) have any dates on them. Over the years, I have seen many of these posters (from both types) sold as first release, but, as stated above, some of these are mid to late 1960s re-releases, and the ones from U.S. movies are "international" posters (or lobby cards) that were used in non-U.S. countries. Condition: good. There are many staple holes around the edges. There are many creases, several tears, and some areas of tiny paper loss along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Learn More about condition grades
