Important Added Info: Note that these are "international" style lobby cards (meaning they were printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). 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 most have an MGM logo that is different from that on other MGM movies of the same time period. None of these posters or lobby cards (except for the very first few of them) have any dates on them. This particular set of cards is one of the movies that MGM sent for European release (and this is one of the movies that IS an MGM movie). If anyone knows more about these MGM releases, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. Two cards have a tiny circular hole at right and the title card has several pinholes and smudges around the edges but some are in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
