Important Added Info: Note that there is a mystery about Italian posters from this movie! It was first released in the U.S. in June 1981 and was re-released in 1982, and those R82 posters have the tagline "The Return of the Great Adventure." All of the Italian posters that we have seen for this movie have that tagline (in Italian), so we believed they were likely from the 1982 re-release, which is how we used to identify them. But we always wondered why we had never seen an Italian poster without that tagline. A collector helped to solve the mystery when he found an October 1981 Italian newspaper theater ad for this movie with the "Return" tagline, which proves that the tagline was used on 1981 Italian first release posters! So why do we call this a 1980s re-release? The printer and "SAC" (a distributor of Italian theatrical posters) number printed at the bottom indicate that this item was not part of the first release and was likely printed for a later re-release.

Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.

Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away last year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca.
