An Original 1969 (from the first release of this movie in Italy; re-titled "Bisexual") Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Locandina Movie Poster (measures 13 1/4" x 27 1/2" [34 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) Sekkusu Chekku: Daini no Sei (released in English-speaking countries as "The Sex Check" and in Italy as "Bisexual"), the 1968 Yasuzo Masumura Japanese female Olympic athlete track running melodrama (based on the serialized short story 'Sprinter' by Terauchi Daikichi) starring Michiyo Ookusu (billed as "Michiyo Yasuda"), Ken Ogata, Mayumi Ogawa, Yusuke Takita, and Yuzo Hayakawa. Note that this movie was made right after the Tokyo Olympics, and it tells the story of a girl who connects with a male track coach, and he trains her, and she starts running championship times, so fast, in fact, that people start suspecting she might be a man in disguise, and testing proves that she has a chromosome disorder showing signs of both sexes. She then begins a quest to become a "true woman"! The movie is almost completely forgotten, and rarely shown, but its plot is more timely than ever, and the director was an experimental Japanese director who lived in Italy for a time and worked with Fellini and Visconti. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
