Date Sold 5/12/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 1957 Re-Release (re-titled "Battle Stripe" for this re-release) Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure (measure from 11" x 13 1/2" [28 x 34 cm] to 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm])) (Learn More) Stanley Kramer's The Men, the 1950 Fred Zinnemann post-World War II (WWII) romantic hospital doctor paralyzed veteran rehabilitation melodrama ("A completely new experience between men and women!..."; "More punch than 'Champion' more guts than 'Home of the Brave'"; "from the producer who dares to make pictures as they've never been made before..."; "Story and Screenplay by Carl Foreman"; "Produced by Stanley Kramer"; about a paralyzed veteran who cannot cope with his injury from World War II) starring Marlon Brando (in his very first movie!), Teresa Wright, Everett Sloane, Jack Webb, Richard Erdman, Virginia Farmer, Dorothy Tree, and Howard St. John. Note that United Artists was panic-stricken at the thought of promoting a movie about a paralyzed man (even though he was a World War II veteran), and so they promoted the movie with an image of Brando shown from the waist up (so you couldn't see his wheelchair!), and the really vague and bizarre tagline, "a completely new experience between men and women!". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that only 4 lobby cards were produced for this movie, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies (or re-releases of big budget movies), because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). Condition: good. Three cards have had parts of the blank borders trimmed. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
