Auction History Result 3j0245 YOJIMBO 1sh 1961 Akira Kurosawa classic, different Aison art of Toshiro Mifune, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Yojimbo, the classic 1961 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai warrior martial arts action melodrama ("A new film by Akira Kurosawa"; "Venice Film Festival Award winner") starring Toshiro Mifune, Eijiro Tono, Tatsuya Nakadai, Yoko Tsukasa, and Kamatari Fujiwara. Note that Sergio Leone seemingly based A Fistful of Dollars on this movie (because it has an extremely similar plot), but he did not buy the rights, and Kurosawa sued Leone and won, and was given a share of the royalties. Also note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that the 1961 U.S. first release of this film took place in major urban centers (New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc) before spreading out to other urban areas over the next year or so.

The only other U.S. poster we auctioned was a half-sheet, and that was 16 years ago. Condition: very good. The poster was hand-folded vertically slightly off-center. It has a tiny pinhole in each blank corner. There is tiny separation in the center crossfold and small separation (approximately 1") in the top crossfold with some tiny paper loss. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well (but if the new owner chooses to have the poster linenbacked the very rare poster would look wonderful!).
