Important Added Info: Note that one of these stills has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie. Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie. Also note that four of these stills have been trimmed and they now measure 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm]. Also note that although these stills were "printed in Great Britain", they have full NSS information. Perhaps they were intended to be used in both countries (we have heard from collectors who saw these color stills in U.S. theaters at the time the movies were released, but we have not heard from any English collectors as to whether they were used in England at that time). If any English collector knows if these were or were not used in English theaters when the movies were released, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Finally, note that these stills appear in every way to be original English/US stills release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that they WERE printed in the U.K., and that makes complete sense to us! So they are original stills from 1965, but they were printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. Four have been neatly trimmed along the upper edge. Learn More about condition grades
