LOBBY CARD SET FROM MEXICO for the 1953 Movie:

"EL GRAN HOUDINI" Starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh

This is a COMPLETE SET of 8 Lobby Cards issued for the movies release in Mexico.

They are larger than the American versions (11"x14"), in that these measure approx. 16 1/2"x12 3/4".

For the most part, the outer art work of each card is the same. Various drawings representing different scenes in the movie on the right side; colorful head-shot drawing of Houdini and Bess, where Houdini is lightly kissing Bess' right cheek.

At the top of each card is "El Gran Houdini" in a bright yellow color with Curtis' and Leigh's names below this, in an olive green color. Just off center (to the right) is a Black-n-White (photo) scene from the movie. The various photo's used on these Lobby Cards are the same which were issued as Movie Stills. Quite different from what we're use to here, in the States, and are quite unique.

The set-of-8-Hard-To-Find Lobby Cards are in NEAR MINT+ Condition.

One card has a very small pin hole in the upper left and right corner. And I mean, very small.

The nice BONUS, of this offering, is all the cards come in the Original Paramount envelope.

You see individual cards on Ebay, from time to time, but hardly ever The Whole Set.
