Important Added Info: Note that this international style A half sheet is unbelievably rare. We have never auctioned it before! It was used in another country, but it was printed in the United States. In that other country it was overprinted with the large area at top that reads "Metro-Goldwyn Mayer and Cinerama Presents". It is the kind of overprinting that likely can't be removed because the ink has bonded in with the paper, and that is a shame because we would love to know what is printed underneath. It is possible that this poster is from the 1962 Cinerama release of this movie, but it is also possible that it is from the 1964 general release. In the U.S., the word "Technicolor" was used on the 1962 posters, but was replaced with "Metrocolor" for the 1964 posters. But we don't know if that is also true of the international posters and lobby cards, which may have had Technicolor on the 1964 posters and lobby cards. Please do not bid on this incredibly rare poster unless you can accept the above uncertainties. Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster was overprinted at top when it was used in another country (see above). It also has pinholes, stains and tears around the edges with tape on the front and back of the top corners. It has some light creases and smudges scattered throughout. Learn More about condition grades
