An Original Vintage Theatrical Japanese Two-Panel "STB" or "Tatekan" Movie Poster (2p; measures 20" x 57" [51 x 145 cm]) (Learn More) Doctor Dolittle, the 1967 Richard Fleischer romantic family musical fantasy adventure comedy ("The most joyous entertainment for the whole family!"; "Ride across the sea inside the Giant Pink Sea Snail!"; "Escape a shipwreck and travel on a floating island with cannibals who perform Shakespeare!"; "Join the Fabulous Circus with the only Pushmi-Pullyu in captivity"; "Learn to talk in 500 animal languages from a parrot who speaks 1000!"; "You've never seen anything like it in your life!"; "The gaiety and romance of the world of Doctor Dolittle enhanced by 14 glorious songs."; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a man who suddenly has the ability to talk to animals) starring Rex Harrison (in the title role as Dr. Doolittle), Samantha Eggar, Anthony Newley, Richard Attenborough ("as 'Blossom'"), and Peter Bull. Note that this movie was officially released in December of 1967 (to qualify for the Oscars), but this roadshow version under-performed at the box office, and an edited version was finally given a general release a year later in December 1968, and that continued into 1969. One could argue that the "regular" release posters from December 1968 and 1969 are from a sort of "continuous first release", but we are calling them a re-release ("R69") because of the long delay between the roadshow release and the regular release.

Important Added Info: Note that this Japanese two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures approximately 20" x 57". Also note that this poster was somewhat tri-folded. What does that mean? Some posters were stored in a tri-folded fashion, but where someone took a group of posters and then tri-folded the entire group. This means that many of the posters have only a slight "waviness" one third of the way from the top and the bottom of the poster, but they are not actual folds. They are normally not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster, but they can be seen from the back of the poster, and they mean that the poster does not lay 100% flat. These "waves" greatly diminish if the poster is put under weight for a time, and become almost completely invisible. Most collectors consider them a very minor defect, much less of a defect than actual foldlines. Also note that this poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. Condition: very good.
