Date Sold 2/20/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) L' Isola di Arturo (released in the U.S. as "Arturo's Island"), the 1962 Damiano Damiani Italian teen family relationship romantic melodrama (about a teenage boy whose father re-marries a 17 year-old girl, with predictable results; "1962 Winner of 'Best Motion Picture' Award at The San Sebastian Film Festival"; "Produced by Carlo Ponti") starring Vanni De Maigret (in the title role as Arturo), Key Meersman, Reginald Kernan, Gabriella Giorgelli, and Elvira Tonelli 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: good to very good. Each card has a few pinholes around the edges and a few light scuffs, smudges, and faint creases scattered in various areas. Learn More about condition grades
