An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11 1/4" x 17" [29 x 43 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Trapeze, the 1956 Carol Reed romantic love triangle circus-performer high wire big top thriller ("The wonder show of the world!"; "It Happens There In Mid-Air... In All Its Fire, Flesh And Fury!"; "High high high above them all! ...In excitement! ...in spectacle! ...in fire, flesh and fury!"; based on the novel by Max Catto) starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Gina Lollobrigida, Katy Jurado, Thomas Gomez, John Puleo, and Minor Watson. Note that star Burt Lancaster had been a circus performer for several years prior to becoming an actor, and he had done both trapeze and high wire stunts in the circus, and he is supposed to have done almost all of his own stunts in this movie! Also note that the movie has the characters attempting to perform a "triple" which they say had only been performed by a small number of people. In actuality, trapeze artists at the time tried to do quadruple jumps, but they couldn't have used that in the movie because it was so difficult to perform!

Studios would run these elaborate 2-page ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 2-page trade ad has been removed from the July 5, 1956 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of those two pages have text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have pictured those back pages (see our images), but of course, the primary interest to bidders is the great two-page color ad, which measures 11" x 17". Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
