Note that while we can find U.S. newspaper articles about the filming of this movie, we can find no theater ads for it. This indicates that, if there was a U.S. release in the 1950s, it was very limited. When the film was released in the U.S. in 1960, it was titled "Dance of Desire" and marketed almost as a sexploitation movie, focusing on Samia Gamal and her "torrid dance" scenes! While the 1960 release could be the first U.S. release for this film, we'll list it as a re-release until we learn more. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: very good to fine. The poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
