A 1964 Re-Release Theatrical Folded Czechoslovakian Movie Poster (measures 11 1/2" x 16" [29 x 41 cm]) (Learn More) Cech Panen Kutnohorskych (released in the U.S. in 1940 as "The Merry Wives"), the 1938 Otakar Vavra Czechoslovakian historical melodrama ("An adventure in ecstasy"; set in Czechoslovakia at the end of the 16th century; about a town where the minerals used for money are mined, and that attracts people looking to make money dishonestly, and when an honest man is condemned to death, a dishonest nobleman offers to help him, but his offer comes with strings attached) starring Zdenek Stepanek, Frantisek Kreuzmann, Adina Mandlova (billed as "Introducing Adina Mandlova"), Antonie Nedosinska, and Ladislav Pesek. Note that this movie was released in Czechoslovakia in 1938, and it was a serious melodrama dealing with moral issues. Someone in the U.S. named Edgar E. Lloyd viewed the movie and saw potential in distributing in the U.S. in a very misleading way, and he renamed it "The Merry Wives", gave it a very misleading tagline "An adventure in ecstasy", and added a sexy image of Adina Mandolova, who was third billed in the Czech release, and played it in a subtitled version in the U.S. (and we suspect that viewers were not happy with being misled!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Czechoslovakian movie! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
