'Get Carter' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Japanese, 1972

About the Item

A surly Michael Caine stalks the Newcastle docks as ruthless London gangster Jack Carter on this scarce Japanese B2 poster for the cult 1971 British crime thriller 'Get Carter.' Based on Ted Lewis' 1970 pulp novel 'Jack's Return Home' and directed by Mike Hodges in his directorial debut, the film follows the eponymous Carter's return to his crime-hardened hometown in North East England to investigate and avenge his brother's death. Noted for its realistic portrayal of violence and criminal behaviour and accurate depiction of class structure and life in 1970s Britain, the film garnered a cult following in the early 90s following endorsements from directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie and a 1993 home video release. By 1999, 'Get Carter' was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century and is widely recognised as one of the greatest British crime films ever produced.

Walt Disney 'Bambi' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Japanese, 1957
Located in Devon, GB
An incredibly rare and charming B2 poster for a 1957 Japanese re-release of the beloved Walt Disney classic 'Bambi.' The touching tale of a young fawn destined to be Prince of the Forest was the fifth feature-length animated picture to be released by Disney and was critically acclaimed for its graceful animation and lush hand painted forest scenes. Generations of viewers might cite the shocking death of Bambi’s mother at the hands of an anonymous hunter, symbolizing Man's cruel destruction of nature, as their lasting association with the film, yet the story endures as a celebration of life and the cycle of nature. In 2008, the American film Institute named Bambi the third best film in the animation genre. Featuring a lush full-bleed forest scene from the animation, this delightful poster was issued for a dubbed 1957 re-release, following the first Japanese release of the film in 1951, when Hollywood films were screened widely throughout the country during the US occupation. Along with 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' the feature length Disney animation had a marked influence on a generation of Japanese animators, most notably the "Father of Manga" Osamu Tezuka...
