An Original Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" [8 x 12 cm]) (Learn More) Zoku Miyamoto Musashi: Ichijoji No Ketto (released in English-speaking countries as "Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple" and "Duel at Ichijoji Temple"), the 1955 Hiroshi Inagaki Japanese biographical martial arts samurai action adventure melodrama sequel (the movies in this trilogy were all based on a single novel by Eiji Yoshikawa; unlike Mifune's Kurosawa samurai movies, this trilogy was filmed in color, and there are many very complex secondary characters in all three parts; the movies can stand alone, but they are best watched back to back!) starring Toshiro Mifune (in the title role), Koji Tsuruta, Mariko Okada, Kaoru Yachigusa, and Michiyo Kogure. Note that Toshiro Mifune made this movie shortly after "Shichinin no samurai" (Seven Samurai). In this movie, he played a samurai named Musashi Miyamoto, who was a well known samurai character in Japanese movies who had already been portrayed in eleven different Japanese movies going back to 1929! Mifune appeared as the same character in the prequel and sequel, and then the character was played by other actors in 23 more movies and TV shows until 2006. This movie is not well known in the U.S. (although it did have a U.S. release), and first release Japanese posters from it are quite rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot read it. If anyone knows the name of this artist, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it. Condition: good. The herald is in pretty nice condition, but the printing from the back bleeds through in the light colored places in the front, which includes the stars' faces (see our images). This would be true of all examples of this herald that have printing on the back, but please take it into consideration before placing your bid. Learn More about condition grades
