An Original 1968 Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Battle Beneath the Earth, the 1967 (released in the U.S. in 1968) Montgomery Tully English/U.S. underground science fiction (sci-fi) war adventure thriller ("An incredible battle is raging right under your feet!"; "Intercontinental tunnels that imprison the earth in a giant web of terror."; "Laser beams that dig through miles of stone in minutes."; "A barbaric general who turns his mad dreams of world conquest into a nightmare reality!"; "The greatest adventure on Earth... is under it!"; about a Chinese general who goes berserk and has a system of tunnels made all the way from China to the U.S.A.!) starring Kerwin Mathews, Viviane Ventura, Robert Ayres, Peter Arne, and Al Mulock 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 an "international" style poster or lobby card (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. Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. There is a foreign stamp in two of the corners. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front, and otherwise, the poster is in nice condition.
