Tengoku to Jigoku (released in the U.S. in 1964 as "Akira Kurosawa's High and Low", and released in other English-speaking countries as "Ransom"), the classic 1963 Akira Kurosawa Japanese kidnapping crime thriller ("Adapted from Ed McBain's 'King's Ransom'"; based on a great story by the U.S. writer Ed McBain, who had many pen names including Evan Hunter; ranks alongside "M" as one of the very finest movies of this kind ever made!) starring Toshiro Mifune, Kyoko Kagawa, Tatsuya Nakadai, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Susumu Fujita, Kenjiro Ishiyama, Takeshi Kato, and Takashi Shimura (Shimura often worked with Kurosawa, similar to the relationship Ward Bond had with John Ford)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also 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. Finally, note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures approximately 28 1/2" x 40 1/2"! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall!

Condition: good. There is a large tear in the right edge extending into the image area (repaired with tape from the back).
