Spanish reissue poster

It is interesting to note that on this Spanish reissue version of the poster, Richard Attenborough's head is replaced by that of Charles Bronson.

 

Unknown Spanish poster

This is a most unusual poster. The bulk of it is in English with only the title (partially) changed. The Spanish reissue poster is entitled "La Gran Evasion" whilst this is entitled "El Gran Escape". It is as if the US one sheet has merely had the words "The Great" painted out and replaced with the words "El Gran".
