An Original 1966 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked International One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Spy With My Face, the 1965 John Newland secret agent spy espionage crime action comedy spoof ("Come spy with your favorite U.N.C.L.E.s!"; "Those two famous, fearless and fantastic secret agents give you the kind of action that made you cry U.N.C.L.E.!"; "A big hit from the TV show"; "A feature length hit from the TV show"; "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents An Arena Production"; adapted from the TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."; "Story by Clyde Ware") starring Robert Vaughn ("as Napoleon Solo"; "as Mr. Solo"), Senta Berger, David McCallum ("as Illya"), Leo G. Carroll, Donna Michele, Sharon Farrell, and Jennifer Billingsley. Note that this TV series (inspired by the super popular James Bond movies) was one of the most successful ever in the history of TV, and it was SO successful that a feature film was made from the pilot episode and distributed internationally in movie theaters, and that movie did so well that an amazing seven more similar movies (compiled from different episodes) were released internationally as well!If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that this is an "international" style poster (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. If anyone knows more about these MGM releases, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and scuffs along parts of the folds. It had a scuff mark running from the elbow of the girl on the gun across and into the hand to the right of it, and some scuff marks in the right of the bottom fold. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
