Whack!"; "U.N.C.L.E. Napoleon and U.N.C.L.E. Illya are back!"; "Those two all-American agents you love the most are at it again in their hottest adventure yet!"; "The unconquerable U.N.C.L.E.s are at it again!"; "Napoleon and Illya are roped into the wildest adventure yet... Facing one close shave after another!"; "Watch out brother here comes U.N.C.L.E. again!"; "Come on in ...the danger's fine and the action's fast!"; "Napoleon and Illya get into the tightest spots in their hottest adventure of all!"; "A feature length hit from the TV show") starring Robert Vaughn ("as Napoleon Solo"; best remembered from this TV series as well as the "Helsinki Hair Formula" infomercials), David McCallum ("as Illya Kuryakin"), Rip Torn, Dorothy Provine, and Leo G. Carroll. Note that this TV series (inspired by the super popular James Bond movies) was one of the most successful ever in the history of TV, and it was SO successful that a feature film was made from the pilot episode and distributed internationally in movie theaters, and that movie did so well that an amazing seven more similar movies (compiled from different episodes) were released internationally as well! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is set of lobby cards that were 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 to fine. The cards are in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind!
