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: good. Each card has several pinholes around the edges (with some scattered within various areas of the image and some torn or enlarged due to rough removal) and scuffs, smudges and/or creases scattered in various areas. A few cards have faint stains scattered in various areas (more so in the card pictured third at left). Learn More about condition grades
