An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Battle Beneath the Earth, the 1967 (released in the U.S. in 1968) Montgomery Tully English/U.S. underground science fiction (sci-fi) war adventure thriller ("An incredible battle is raging right under your feet!"; "Intercontinental tunnels that imprison the earth in a giant web of terror."; "Laser beams that dig through miles of stone in minutes."; "A barbaric general who turns his mad dreams of world conquest into a nightmare reality!"; "The greatest adventure on Earth... is under it!"; about a Chinese general who goes berserk and has a system of tunnels made all the way from China to the U.S.A.!) starring Kerwin Mathews, Viviane Ventura, Robert Ayres, Peter Arne, and Al Mulock NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]. 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: good. The blank top 1/4" of the card was neatly trimmed off. There is black paint over the bottom right of the image (apparently that part of the image was too violent for the particular theater displaying this card!). There are creases and faint smudges around the edges of the card. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
