An Original 1963 Vintage International Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Il Figlio di Spartacus (released in the U.S. in 1963 as "The Slave: The Son of Spartacus", and also as "The Son of Spartacus"), the 1962 Sergio Corbucci Italian sword-and-sandal action adventure fantasy thriller ("The Son of Spartacus leads the slaves against their tyrant oppressors!"; "SEE...! The man in the iron mask! The rescue of a love slave! The infamous leopard-men! An Emperor's evil orgies!"; "The sword of Spartacus flashes again in the hand of his valiant son!"; "A Thousand and One Spectacular Thrills!"; "Spectacular adventure romance") starring Steve Reeves (in the title role "as The Son of Spartacus"), Jacques Sernas, Gianna Maria Canale, Claudio Gora, and Ombretta Colli 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: very good. There is pencil writing in the bottom blank border, but the card is otherwise in excellent condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
