An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Two-Sided Japanese Press Sheet Movie Poster (14x20; measures 11" x 23 1/4" [28 x 59 cm]) (Learn More) Shichinin No Samurai (released in the U.S. in 1956 as "The Magnificent Seven", and in other English-speaking countries as "The Seven Samurai"), the classic 1954 Akira Kurosawa Japanese hired-professionals-save-a-tiny-town action epic (this great movie was the basis for the equally classic "The Magnificent Seven", it won the New York Film Critics award and was nominated for two Oscars!) starring Toshiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura, Seiji Miyaguchi, Yoshio Inaba, and Minoru Chiaki. Note that this film was first released in the U.S. under the title "The Magnificent Seven". We're not sure when the U.S. title was changed to the now familiar "The Seven Samurai", but it was certainly before the 1960 "The Magnificent Seven" was released (we have found newspaper ads from 1957 that still use the original title).

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Japanese press sheet, which is a "country of origin" item for this Japanese movie (and of course, ANY first release Japanese posters from this most classic of Japanese movies are extremely rare). Also note that this Japanese press sheet measures 11" x 23 1/4" [28 x 59 cm]. We have provided an image of each side of the press sheet. Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The sheet is printed on a lightweight paper and it has some light creases around the edges, with a few faint smudges mainly on back at lower center. The ultra rare press sheet is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
