Important Added Info: Note that there were both 4" x 6" Japanese lenticular postcards and 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" lenticular standees made for the 1969 re-release of this movie. We have auctioned a number of the postcards, but this is only the third time we have auctioned this standee (the first two times were in 2004 and 2011), so it is quite rare. Note that it was basically impossible to get an image of this lenticular poster that showed its "3-D" effect! You will just have to take our word for it that it is a very cool (and very early) lenticular poster, that needs to be seen in person to be appreciated! Please note that this is a standee, as it has a full standee backing. Also note that this lenticular poster is from the 1969 re-release of this classic movie. We know that because original 1960 posters from this movie all say "filmed in Camera 65" on them. This refers to the anamorphic 65mm lens process used to shoot the picture. 70mm prints for the 1969 re-release required an anamorphic lens, a curved screen, and had an aspect ratio of 2.76:1. For the 1969 reissue, all 70mm prints were spherical 70...meant to be projected on a flat screen with an aspect ration of 2.20:1. This is why this standee says, "IN 70mm and FULL STEREOPHONIC SOUND - Technicolor" instead of "filmed in Camera 65". Condition: very good to fine. The standee is in nice condition and it was never used (see our images of the front and back). Learn More about condition grades
