Important Added Info: Note that these are VERY unusual lobby cards! Four of them are in English and two of them are in French, but we think they are from the first Swiss release of this movie (which occurred in December 1965). They all have a printed Todd-AO 70mm logo at bottom right and are extremely similar, except for the two different languages. So our best guess is that there were two sets printed for the Swiss release, one in English, and one in French (and of course, there could have been a third in German), and if so, these are the only such lobby cards we have ever seen! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Condition: fair to good. All the cards have been trimmed, to slightly different sizes. Three have a Swiss stamp in the bottom right blank corner. All have pinholes in the corners. Please look closely at our images to get a sense of the exact condition of these rare lobby cards.
