An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Theatrical Tri-Folded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 cm]) (Learn More)

The General, the classic 1927 Buster Keaton & Clyde Bruckman silent Civil War military railroad train locomotive romantic slapstick comedy (Buster is an engineer who is refused by the Army because he is needed for the war effort, and then his girl is kidnapped by enemy soldiers, and most of the movie is spent with one train chasing another train, but amazingly, it never gets tired, and the movie has more laughs per minute than almost any comedy ever made!) starring Buster Keaton, Marion Mack, Charles Smith, Richard Allen, Glen Cavender, Jim Farley, and the train (in the title role, because it is named "The General", and it plays a really major part in the movie!)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that the chances of acquiring a first release Japanese poster from this movie are next to zero, and first release posters from the U.S. release are incredibly expensive. This 1960s Japanese re-release poster has a great image and is a wonderful affordable alternative to finding any first release poster! Also note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: very good. The poster was tri-folded, and there are creases along the bottom fold. Otherwise, it is in nice condition!
