Date Sold 3/20/2014 Sold 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) Le Cave Se Rebiffe (released in the U.S. as "The Counterfeiters of Paris"), the 1961 Gilles Grangier French/Italian France crime comedy ("Based on the novel by Albert Simonin"; about a master French thief who has just returned to France, and he hooks up with three young counterfeiters, and they make millions of dollars in fake currency, but naturally, they plan to double-cross him and keep the money for themselves!) starring Jean Gabin, Martine Carol, Franck Villard, Maurice Biraud, Balpetre, Ginette Leclerc, Francoise Rosay, and Bernard Blier NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. The card pictured third at right has writing on the back that bleeds through to the front left. Learn More about condition grades
