More About This Item Featuring Etchevery Artwork Note that this Japanese movie was first released in France in 1961, 12 years after its original Japanese release. The movie was re-released in France in the 1970s, and the poster for the 1970s re-release has the same image, but we can tell that this poster is definitely the 1961 first release, because of its visa number, printer name and printer information, which is different from that of the 1970s re-release.
Overall Condition: very good to fine Notable Defects: There is very minor fold and border wear. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition!

You should look at our "super-sized" image of the actual item, which will confirm just how nice this item is!
