Spanish title: MogamboStars: Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace KellyDirected by: John FordDistributor: MGM Mexico
"A battle of the sexes… and a battle against the gorillas!"
This lobby card for the Sam Zimbalist-produced multi-Oscar nominated jungle feature is in incredible shape. No pinholes, no tears, nice thick cardboard; in fact, if not for a couple of slightly dinged [...]
Spanish title: El Hijo de SimbadStars: Dale Robertson, Sally Forrest, Lili StCir, Vincent Price, Mari BlanchardDirected by: Ted TetzlaffDistributor: Continental Films
Also known as Nights in a Harem, this Howard Hughes-produced ogle-fest is notable for two things: 1) It stars Vincent Price (who is totally slumming it), and 2) it features more scantily-clad women than you [...]
Spanish title: Aventuras de los Comandos (Adventures of the Commandos)Stars: Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan, Arthur Kennedy Directed by: Raoul WalshDistributor: Warner Bros
"Boldness, morals, and intrepidity as never seen before, in a chilling

Spanish title: Mi Amor Brasileno (My Brazilian Love)Stars: Lana Turner, Ricardo Montalban, John Lund, Louis CalhernDirected by: Mervyn LeRoyDistributor: MGM Mexico

This particular card is [...]

"Two men and a woman fight to survive the fury of the jungle… from which nobody escapes."
Lippert Pictures were in the business of low budget, big thrill Saturday morning matinee pictures designed [...]
Spanish title: Moby DickStars: Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart, Leo Genn, Orson WellesDirected by: John HustonDistributor: Warner Bros (for 20th Century Fox and United Artists)
"Before the shark… there was the whale!"
This is one of two different lobby card releases for this film, and this is definitely the inferior one. The odd choice of circling Gregory Peck’s [...]
Spanish title: RapsodiaStars: Elizabeth Taylor, Vittorio Gassman, John Ericson, Louis CalhernDirector: Charles VidorDistributor: MGM Mexico
"A rhapsody of love, with music from the grand maestros!"
This lobby card is light on original art, due to the use of several cut’n’paste photos, but what original paintwork there is sure didn’t miss Elizabeth Taylor’s cleavage.
Well done, sir.
