Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned three examples of this poster before! Studio posters from the first release of this classic movie in 1950 are virtually unknown (there are "countryside" posters, made for local theaters, and we sold one of those, and those too are extremely scarce). The very first re-release of this movie in Japan was in 1962, and while posters from subsequent re-releases are not that difficult to find, posters from this 1962 re-release are extremely scarce.

Condition: good. The poster has darkened somewhat and there is some slight discoloration at upper left and at bottom (see our image). This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the discoloration can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
