Robert Bren"; about a man who undergoes plastic surgery to help captured American atomic scientists escape) starring Tom Neal, Barbara Hale, Marc Cramer, Michael St. Angel, Leonard Strong, Richard Loo, and Keye Luke. Note that when the United States was deep into World War II, racist epithets were used against the Japanese they were fighting, and they were prominently put on movie posters of that time like this one, and we certainly hope never to see that again! 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 there is something very interesting about this poster. The movie was released as "First Yank Into Tokyo", and the posters all say that, but perhaps the movie was retitled for use in other countries as "First Man Into Tokyo", and instead of printing new posters, they had this poster overprinted with the new word! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good. The title was professionally overprinted (see above). There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Learn More about condition grades
