Auction History Result p363 RHAPSODY 8 int'l movie lobby cards R60s Liz Taylor, Vittorio Gassman Date Sold 6/6/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Undated (probably 1960s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie International Lobby Cards (measure 11" x 14") (Learn More) Rhapsody, the 1954 Charles Vidor romantic love triangle violinist musical melodrama ("MGM's Magnificent Drama of Music and Romance"; "Drama of Love... and Desire!"; "'I must possess the man I love - heart, body and soul!'"; "Based on the novel 'Maurice Guest' by Henry Handel Richardson") starring Elizabeth Taylor, Vittorio Gassman, John Ericson, Louis Calhern, Michael Chekhov, and Barbara Bates NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is an "international" style poster or lobby card (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). 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.
