Date Sold 12/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1965 Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Ercole Sfida Sansone (released in the U.S. in 1965 as "Hercules, Samson, and Ulysses") the 1963 Pietro Francisci Italian Roman mythology sword & sandal action adventure fantasy epic starring Kirk Morris (in the title role as Ercole/Hercules), Iloosh Khoshabe (born Iloosh Khoshabe, billed under several names, as "Rod Flash Ilush", as "Ilush", as "Rod Flash" and as "Richard Lloyd"; in the title role as Sansone/Samson), Enzo Cerusico (in the title role as Ulysses), Liana Orfei, and Aldo Giuffre. Note that we don't exactly know how or why this movie started out as "Hercules Challenges Samson" (in the Italian version), but when it made it the U.S. two years later, Ulysses had made it into the title! The original Italian posters show Hercules and Samson fighting, with sexy Liana Orfei as Delilah looking on, but the U.S. posters don't have her, and they use a similar image of Hercules and Samson, but with Ulysses added in!

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: very good. There is a pinhole in each corner and some faint smudges around the edges. 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
