Note that this movie is based on the novel, "Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar" written by Jules Verne in 1876. Apparently, this was an incredibly popular action novel of that time, and over the years, there have been around a dozen film adaptations, both silent and sound! Sometimes the lead character's name is changed slightly so as to not sound foreign to the country that made the movie. Note that there was a sequel to this movie in 1961 called "Le triomphe de Michel Strogoff" with the same actors. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the back of this card was overprinted with a rectangular pattern. This was commonly done in the 1950s so that old lobby cards could be re-used as "frames" for 8x10 stills. This IS an original lobby card. Condition: good to very good. The back was used to display an 8" x 10" still , and it was attached with tape, and there are two pieces of tape on the back of the card where the still was attached, and two areas of surface paper loss where the tape was roughly removed. There is also a repaired 1/2" tear in the upper right border, and there is slight ink transfer in the left and right edges of the image (no doubt caused by the overprinting on the back).
