Important Added Info: Note that this movie opened in Italy in December 1960, and was a major success. It opened at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1961, and also played in the U.S. starting soon after in 1961. The distribution of this U.S. showing was handled by Embassy Pictures, who created a 2-color lobby cards, which referenced the Cannes Film Festival. It seems likely that this Embassy release was subtitled and that it only contained 93 minutes of the original 100-minute film. In 1962, MGM gave the movie a major release, and it is likely that this version was dubbed. MGM created full-color lobby cards for this 1962 release. We think it is very likely that the movie stayed in continuous release throughout 1961 and 1962, so we don't consider the 1962 release to be a "re-release". However, the MGM lobbies are from 1962 and the Embassy lobbies are from 1961, for those who feel this is an important distinction! Condition: good to very good. There are pieces of brown tape on the back of some of the edges of each card that slightly bleed through to the front. Learn More about condition grades
