The Great Escape, the classic 1963 John Sturges World War II (WWII) military prison escape crime adventure thriller ("The great adventure! The great entertainment!"; "1:06 AM What went into these few secon1963 ds... 1:07 AM The hell... the heroism... the high adventure... 1:08 AM Make for the screen's great entertainment!"; with a superb "Screenplay by James Clavell & W.R. Burnett", "Based upon the book by Paul Brickhill"; note that this was largely a true story, but it was of course "enlarged" to make it even more dramatic, and some American prisoners, who were not at the actual prison camp, were added, so that the movie could include American actors James Garner and Steve McQueen) starring Steve McQueen (as Hilts "The Cooler King"), James Garner (as Hendley "The Scrounger"), Richard Attenborough (as Roger Bartlett, "Big X"), James Donald (as Group Capt.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 47 "faux" lobby card sets we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 47 separate auctions! WHAT ARE THESE? We were consigned 68 similar faux lobby sets (but entirely different images and titles), which were created in 2021 by a long time collector who (like so many of us) chose to stay home that year a lot due to Covid, and he made those 68 faux sets to help pass the time! He was inspired by the "Fantasy #9" lobby cards created several decades ago, each of which is from a classic horror/sci-fi movie, showing a great scene that wasn't in the original set!

He created those 68 sets, using top images from each film! He did not make them through a computer program, but instead pasted together actual prints to create mock-ups. On most of these he made 8 card sets, but on some of them he created sets with 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 and there is also a two part set of 25 and 26 cards! He then printed just THREE of each set, and he promised not to reprint them (and he has not). He numbered the first card in each set, and what we offered was the "1 of 3" of each set, which meant there are only two other sets of each, and there will never be more of those.

Our consignor told us that he would keep one of the three sets of each, but MAY give us the remaining third set at a later time to auction. But the winner of those 68 auctions have just one of three of these numbered sets that were created! NOW THE SAME CONSIGNOR HAS CREATED 47 ADDITIONAL SETS! These are just like the first 68, except all different titles and images. AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME! There are just three of each sets, and we are auctioning the number 1 of 3 of each set (in 47 separate auctions). AND OUR CONSIGNOR AGAIN PROMISES TO NEVER REPRINT THESE! So once again this is a great chance to get any of these really cool faux lobby sets!
