An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B1" Movie Poster (29x41; measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) Le Mans (released in some English-speaking countries as both "Le Mans" and as "The 24 Hours of Le Mans"), the 1971 Lee H. Katzin France automobile car racing sports action thriller ("Steve McQueen takes you for a drive in the country. The country is France. The drive is at 200 MPH!"; "Written by Harry Kleiner"; set in the French countryside's classic historic 24-hour race) starring Steve McQueen, Siegfried Rauch, Elga Andersen, Ronald Leigh-Hunt, and features classic racing legends Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx, and Jo Siffert 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 this is an extremely rare poster! We have never auctioned one with this different close-up of McQueen in his race car with a "Cinerama" logo at lower right in all our years of auctioning. We are not sure why the Cinerama logo is there, since we can't find any reference to this movie being in Cinerama in any way (and there are different B1 posters that don't have the Cinerama logo, but there is a B2 poster that DOES have the same logo, so we can't figure out what that is about)! In any event, this is an incredibly rare poster, with a complete different image from any of the other Le Mans posters we have auctioned. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note also that this Japanese "B1" poster measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]! "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: very good. The poster was never folded. It has some light creases scattered throughout the poster, with some small creases and scuffs in the bottom corners.
