Date Sold 9/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 6 Original Vintage Theatrical Swiss Lobby Cards (LC; measures 8 1/4" x 9 3/4" [21 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Tsubaki Sanjuro (released in the U.S. in 1963 as "Akira Kurosawa's Sanjuro"), the 1962 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai martial arts action adventure thriller sequel ("A fast sword, keen perception used well to Slaughter His Enemies"; "Toho Production in TohoScope") starring Toshiro Mifune (in the title role as Sanjuro Tsubaki), Tatsuya Nakadai, Takashi Shimura, Reiko Dan, Keiju Kobayashi, Yuzo Kayama, and Akihiko Hirata. Note that this movie was a sort of sequel to Kurosawa's 1961 movie, "Yojimbo", with Mifune again playing a ronin, but with a different name (and again, he is a somewhat tarnished hero). Also note that this well regarded Akira Kurosawa Japanese movie surprisingly only received a limited first release in the U.S., and movie paper from that U.S. release is incredibly rare, for unknown reasons. It also apparently had a limited first release in all other English-speaking countries, again for unknown reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these lobby cards measure 8 1/4" x 9 3/4" [21 x 25 cm], but have not been trimmed. Also note that these Swiss lobby cards were made by the distributor creating a set of identical stiff board printed backings with printed information about the movie, with a blank space for a still, and then they would attach a number of original stills to those boards, thus creating a set of Swiss lobby cards. Note that the board has metal grommets inserted into each corner, to make displaying of these Swiss lobby cards far easier. Condition: good to very good. The corners of the cards have been somewhat 'rounded off' but the cards are otherwise in pretty nice condition and they display well. Learn More about condition grades
