Important Added Info: Note that it would seem very likely this program dates from the very first release of this movie in Japan, and since it has some English writing ("American Movie Weekly" at the bottom of the cover and interior credits that are in English), it would seem that it was at a time when there were still many American soldiers in Japan, which was true in the late 1940s and early 1950s. If anyone knows more about when this is from, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that we have pictured the front cover and the entire front and back of this 6-page program. Condition: good to very good. There is a brown stain in the top left corner of the front cover and a few very faint brown stains scattered in the other pages (see our images).
