If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this great first release Japanese poster from this film noir movie! Also note that, immediately after World War II, the U.S. occupied Japan and part of Germany, and many American movies were shown in both countries between 1945 and the end of the occupation. Most of the Japanese posters we have seen from that period and many of the German posters and programs from the same period have a "Motion Picture Export Association" circular printed logo on the poster or program, and apparently this was a program run in conjunction with the U.S. government. Since there were many U.S. servicemen in Japan and Germany at this time, many of these posters and programs have the title written in both Japanese (or German) and in English, and they are from the first release of that movie in that country. Finally, 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: very good. The poster has three horizontal folds. It has paper tape on the back of much of the bottom border, where a snipe was once attached. There is a snipe glued to the bottom left corner of the poster (it can be removed by a professional or talented amateur). There are a few tiny tears in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
