A 1967 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 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 are told by a Japanese poster expert that this is from the very first re-release of this classic Japanese movie. Since the first release poster is impossible to find, this first re-release is likely the best alternative for any collector to pursue! Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a tiny tear at top center but otherwise it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
