An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Japanese "B3" Movie Poster (measures 17 3/4" x 22 1/4" [45 x 57 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. This poster was from the 1954 roadshow release of this movie in Japan, and it originally had a blank bottom area (similar to the blank top area found on U.S. window cards). A theater wrote its specific information in that area, and then when the poster was later used by a different theater, that bottom blank area was trimmed off (Japanese posters of this size are often found with this trimming). Only blank white paper was affected and the image was not affected. The poster was once folded by hand, which resulted in unevenly spaced horizontal folds and one vertical fold near the center of the poster. There are some tiny tears in the borders and some creases along the folds. Learn More about condition grades
