An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Village of Daughters, the 1962 George Pollock English England/Italy romantic sexploitation comedy ("For goodness Sykes!"; about an Englishman who takes a vacation to Italy, and ends up in a small town where they are trying to pick which of their local illegible daughters will get to marry an important single man, and the Englishman is put in charge of the judging, with much comic results!) starring Eric Sykes, Scilla Gabel, Gregoire Aslan, Yvonne Romain, John Le Mesurier, Peter Elliott, and Monty Landis NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. 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: very good. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. There is some darkening and slight extra wear on the part of the back of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, typical of folded three-sheets (but it has little effect on the front of the poster).
