Girard NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that for the 1958 re-release of this classic war movie, the distributors decided to add the tagline, "MISSILES! JETS! TANKS!", even though the movie dealt with World War I, when there were no jets! Talk about false advertising! Note also that only 4 lobby cards were produced for this movie, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies (or re-releases of big budget movies), because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). Condition: good to very good. The card pictured at lower right has tape on the back of some edges (not put there for any restoration purpose) and a tear in the upper edge. Otherwise, they are in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
