An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Austerlitz (released in the U.S. as "The Battle of Austerlitz"), the 1960 Abel Gance French/Italian/Yugoslavian/Liechtensteiner France historical military war melodrama ("The man... the day... the explosion the world will never forget!") starring Claudia Cardinale, Vittorio De Sica, Jack Palance, Orson Welles, and Pierre Mondy (as Napoleon Bonaparte). Note that this movie has an interesting origin! In 1927, Abel Gance made his masterpiece, "Napoleon", and it was intended to be the first part of a six film series about Napoleon's life. But the movie was a disaster financially, and Gance was ruined, and he sold his story for the sixth part to director Lupu Pick, who made a German adaptation of it (covering Napoleon's last days), called "Napoleon at St. Helena". In the 1950s, Gance was trying to resume his career, and he was able to get the financing for this movie, which was the third of his original six movie series, covering the battle of Austerlitz!
