Auction History Result 6b202 HELICOPTER SPIES 8 int'l LCs '67 Robert Vaughn, David McCallum, The Man from UNCLE! Date Sold 2/20/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical International Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) the international theatrical release of Helicopter Spies, the 1967 Boris Sagal spy espionage action comedy spoof (adapted from the TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."; "New Excitement! Newest U.N.C.L.E. Thriller!") starring Robert Vaughn (as Napoleon Solo; best remembered from this TV series as well as the "Helsinki Hair Formula" infomercials), David McCallum (as Ilya Kuryakin), Carol Lynley, Bradford Dillman, Leo G. Carrol, John Dehner, John Carradine, and Julie London (billed as "Special Guest Appearance Julie London"). Note that this TV series (inspired by the super popular James Bond movies) was one of the most successful ever in the history of TV, and it was SO successful that a feature film was made from the pilot episode and distributed internationally in movie theaters, and that movie did so well that an amazing seven more similar movies (compiled from different episodes) were released internationally as well! 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: good. The title card has writing in the lower edge, and each card has several pinholes around the edges (with some scattered within various areas of the image and several torn or enlarged due to rough removal) and several scuff marks, smudges, and/or creases scattered throughout.
