Note that Astor Pictures, which had been known for mostly re-releasing classic U.S. movies in the 1940s and 1950s, acquired the rights for the first American release of this classic Italian movie, which they released on April 19, 1961.

Important Added Info: Note that there are two styles of Argentinean poster that were created for the first release of this movie in Argentina. One style has a photo montage of all the lead actors. The other style has full-color artwork of sexiest Anita Ekberg. That second poster was apparently released in conjunction with a promotion from Aerolineas Argentinas, for their logo is printed within the poster at bottom right. There is also mention of the soundtrack in the bottom left of that poster, which is not on the other poster. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds, with some tiny bits of paper loss between the middle and bottom crossfolds. There was minor wear on the other folds and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer left alone the tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold (any restorer could perform restoration to that area without re-backing the poster, but it is not very noticeable or distracting at all).
