An Original Vintage Theatrical International Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) the international theatrical release of The Murder Men, the 1961 John Peyser crime thriller (a compilation of episodes from the 1961 TV series "Cain's Hundred") starring Mark Richman, Dorothy Dandridge, James Coburn, and Joe Mantell. Note that "Cain's Hundred" is a completely forgotten 1961 TV show that ran for 30 episodes. It starred Mark Richman as a mob lawyer who falls in love and decides to quit working for criminals, but then his fiancee is killed by the mob, so he goes to work for the FBI, trying to help them convict 100 mobsters (hence the title). The series was similar to "The Untouchables", and included many of TV's most recognizable faces in early roles, and was produced by Paul Monash, who also produced "Peyton Place" and "Judd for the Defense", and had himself written the pilot episode of "The Untouchables".

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. There is tiny paper loss in the top right blank corner. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
