Body Snatchers! Cruel Beauties! Blood-Curdling Experiments of Doctor Bolton!"; "Tops In Terror!"; produced by Richard Gordon) starring Boris Karloff ("as Dr. Bolton"), Betta St. John, Finlay Currie, Christopher Lee, Adrienne Corri, Francis De Wolff, and Francis Matthews. Note that this film was shot in 1958 but remained unreleased until 1963. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is an "international" style group of lobby cards (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). 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. If anyone knows more about these MGM releases, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The card with the super close-up of Karloff has some slight discoloration in portions of the upper blank border and on back. The cards are otherwise in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
