Grant), Thelma Ritter, Mickey Shaughnessy, Russ Tamblyn, and Lee Van Cleef NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this title card is undated. However, there is a prominent Cinerama logo at top center (covered by the snipe at top) and it is listed as "Technicolor" at bottom left, so this card MAY be from the very first 1962 release of this classic movie (the 1964 posters and lobby cards are dated 1964, and they credit "Metrocolor" instead of "Technicolor"). Note that we have seen other examples of this card, but never one with this overprinting at top, and oddly, it says the same thing underneath the overprinting! The only thing I can imagine is that the original area had the stylized Cinerama logo, and maybe this was used somewhere where they could not display that logo (I can't imagine why), so maybe they had to do that overprinting for that reason. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There is a distributor snipe overprinted across the top of the card. There are a few pinholes in the borders and some faint smudges scattered throughout the card. There is a tape stain on the back of the bottom right corner, but it has no effect on the front.
