An Original Vintage Japanese Film Program (measures 8 1/4" x 11 1/2" [21 x 29 cm]; 16 pages) (Learn More) Yojimbo, the classic 1961 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai warrior martial arts action melodrama ("A new film by Akira Kurosawa"; "Venice Film Festival Award winner") starring Toshiro Mifune, Eijiro Tono, Tatsuya Nakadai, Yoko Tsukasa, and Kamatari Fujiwara. Note that Sergio Leone seemingly based A Fistful of Dollars on this movie (because it has an extremely similar plot), but he did not buy the rights, and Kurosawa sued Leone and won, and was given a share of the royalties. Also note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that the 1961 U.S. first release of this film took place in major urban centers (New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc) before spreading out to other urban areas over the next year or so. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" program for this Japanese movie! Also note that we have provided an image of the front cover, the back cover, and an interior two-page spread of this 16-page program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized images, but realize that there are pages you are not seeing. Condition: good. There are many creases scattered on the cover. It has a line of darkening across Mifune's forehead that appears to be some sort of ink transfer from something that laid on top of it. The program was lightly folded down the middle at one time. There is a tiny pinhole in each corner of every page, including the covers. Learn More about condition grades
