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:

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.

Hey, Paul:

Yes! 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.

Dave,

Are they these?

Although printed in Italy, similar sorts of sets seem to have been used in the US and internationally.

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.

Thanks,
Dave
