Auction History Result 4m0193 SEVEN SAMURAI German 1962 Kurosawa's Shichinin No Samurai, Mifune, Hillmann art, ultra rare! Date Sold 5/31/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1962 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage Theatrical Folded German "A1" Movie Poster (measures 23" x 33" [58 x 84 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). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Hans Hillmann Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned two in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2009! Condition: good. There is light rippling scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture and there are light creases scattered in various areas. The poster was folded somewhat oddly, resulting in some uneven, extra foldlines. However, this is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that the rippling can be removed through linenbacking, and after proper restoration the very rare poster will look great, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
