Above is a very rare German advertiseing leaflet promoting Walt Disney's live-action movie the Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men. The film was first released in West Germany in 1952. As Joan Rice gets top billing (alongside Richard Todd) and an interesting portrait in the top right-hand corner, I supsect that this leaflet was produced about that time.
There are now many various posters and lobby cards on this blog, from all around the world, showing the different images and colourful illustrations used to advertise this Disney masterpiece.

This is an interesting item. As you say Clement, it seems that this one would be from the original release. I wonder in those far off days, if the films just had subtitles - can't think they would be dubbed then but I dont know that. Not really very long after the war finished of course.
Also at the bottom of the page was a reference to Jesse James and if that was the famous film version it dates back to 1939 with Tyrone Power. I imagine that type of film would have had a re release though.It happened to lots of films
