An Original 1968 Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Die Nibelungen, Teil 1: Siegfried (released in the U.S. in 1968 as "Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy"), the 1966 Harald Reinl German/Yugoslavian adventure fantasy epic ("In 70mm and Full Stereophonic Sound!"; "Pagan Passion Pagan Love!") starring Uwe Beyer ("as Siegfried"), Rolf Henninger ("as Konig Gunther"), Siegfried Wischnewski ("as Hagen"), Maria Marlow ("as Kriemhild"), Hans Von Borsody, Terence Hill (billed as "Mario Girotti", which was his birth name!), Dieter Eppler, Hilde Weissner, Benno Hoffmann, Karin Dor ("as Brunhild"), Fred Williams, Herbert Lom ("as Attila"), and Karin Dor. Note that this movie was a remake of the classic 1924 Fritz Lang movie "Siegfried". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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 to very good. There is a 1" tear in the right of the bottom border, and some faint smudges scattered throughout. There are some partial vertical creases in the left quarter of the card, but they are not very distracting. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
