These are printed on coated paper stock (not card stock) and have no Italian printing credit on the reverse. "Printed in Italy" appears once, in very small pink-on-pink type, on the title card only.
When I first saw them, "roadshow" was the first word that jumped to mind, though I didn't know if they should be called oversized lobby cards, jumbo stills or what. I certainly like the sound of "deluxe roadshow lobby card set" rather than "photobustas" or "jumbo stills." It seems more appropriate given that they were presumably not intended for the Italian market.

Patton is a pretty nice set. I have a set for Star(14 cards) currently for auction on our site: http://www.movieposterexchange.com/buy.php?mode=poster_details&auction_id=2443 Italy printing credit is on reverse. All the titles I have had have been 11x14 however. Haven't had the My Fair lady set. -peter From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kirby McDaniel Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2012 9:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Info, please: My Fair Lady jumbo stills These are roadshow oversized stills that were printed in Italy for U.S. and International use. During the golden era of 70mm roadshow films, there were several films that had these oversized stills. Another such film is PATTON. They normally would come in a paper envelope. I associate the word "rotogravure" with them for some reason. MovieArt has several but not all of the MY FAIR LADY stills: http://movieart.net/?s=my+fair+lady&submit=Search The MY FAIR LADY stills are printed rather more cheaply than some of the other ones I've seen, which can be quite deluxe. I hesitate to rattle off the titles because I'm not sure about specifically which movies - but if you range through the 70mm roadshows of that era - big budget pictures - you have the short list. K.

I had seen Bruce's listing but he only sold one scene card and there is no indication of country of origin on the scene cards so he had it listed as a "jumbo still." But I hadn't seen the Heritage listing AND (D'oh!) I completely missed the tiny "Printed in Italy" that appears pink-on-pink in the top left corner. Odd, because the text on the title card is completely in English. I suppose this set was meant to be used in countries other than Italy. So what I have is a complete (plus one) Italian photobusta set. Thanks for the help.

The title still/card is in English (the others have no text on them) and they appear to be original release but have no year indicated or NSS info. Anybody know anything about these? I have 11 altogether and one is a duplicate. What size would a full set be? 10? 12? More? Appreciate any help.
