NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these lobby cards measure 13" x 17 1/4" [33 x 44 cm]. Also note that these Swiss lobby cards were made by the distributor creating a set of identical stiff board printed backings with printed information about the movie, with a blank space for a still, and then they would attach a number of original U.S. stills to those boards, thus creating a set of Swiss lobby cards. Note that the board has metal grommets inserted into each corner, to make displaying of these Swiss lobby cards far easier. UPDATED 09/03/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that these cards are from the 1970s first release of this film in Switzerland and NOT a 1970s re-release as we initially listed. Condition: good to very good. Each of the cards has pinholes and wear in the corners. Learn More about condition grades
