The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 1964 Japanese 2 Sheet Film Poster

About the Item

Exceedingly rare first-year-of-release Japanese 2 Sheet film poster for Jacques Demy's masterful musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (Umbrellas of Cherbourg). The Japanese Tatekan (also known as Tatsumi) which translates to a standing or signboard poster were printed in two pieces which were to be pasted together on the bill boards. Far rarer, and more striking than the standard Japanese B2 posters, they are highly collectible. The vintage movie poster was originally printed in two pieces and has been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 20 1/8 x 57 1/2 inches (plus a little more including the linen-backing) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
