A superb original Japanese Tatekan (2 sheet) film poster for Strangers on a Train, issued for a c1950s Japanese release of Alfred Hitchcock's celebrated thriller. The tall, narrow format gives the design real drama, with Hitchcock's portrait, a glowing railway signal and bold vertical Japanese lettering creating a tense and highly atmospheric composition. It is a wonderful alternative to the more familiar Western campaign artwork and a striking example of Japanese film poster design. Released in 1951, Strangers on a Train is one of Hitchcock's great suspense films, adapted from the novel by Patricia Highsmith...

Fab, original first-year-of-release Goldfinger poster. This original 1964 Japanese poster for Goldfinger is a superb example of Bond at his boldest. Packed with dramatic imagery, vivid colour and striking Japanese typography, it captures all the glamour, danger and sheer cinematic punch of one of the greatest 007 films ever made. Directed by Guy Hamilton, Goldfinger is widely regarded as the film that defined the James Bond formula. With Sean Connery in peak form as 007, the film delivered the perfect mix of action, wit, style and spectacle, helping to cement Bond as a global phenomenon. Connery’s cool authority, charm and effortless screen presence made him the definitive James Bond for many, and Goldfinger remains one of the finest showcases of his performance in the role. Japanese posters from this period are especially prized for their dynamic layouts and distinctive graphic energy, often giving familiar Hollywood titles a fresh and highly collectible visual identity. This example does exactly that, combining studio stills, bold design and brilliant colour to create a poster with real wall power. The artist for this poster is not clearly credited, which only adds to the intrigue often found with vintage Japanese film material from the era. Rare, eye-catching and instantly recognisable, this original Japanese Goldfinger...

Following the tried and tested golden formula of light-hearted musical entertainment, exotic location and girls galore which saw Elvis' soundtrack albums far outstrip his regular album sales, 'Girls! Girls! Girls!' stands out as one of Elvis Presley's more popular films, even receiving a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture - Musical. Elvis' eleventh feature film and his second shot in Hawaii, 'Girls! Girls! Girls!' was a safe money-spinner for both his record label RCA and the film's distributor Paramount, who saw Elvis voted as 1962's 'Top Box Office Draw' for having three of the top grossing films of that year. The highlight of the film is Presley's performance of his enduring pop classic 'Return to Sender,' which subsequently peaked at no.2 on the US Billboard chart when released as the lead single from the soundtrack album. Seen in sublime profile, Elvis is every inch the handsome heartthrob as the penniless fishing boat pilot on this ultra rare B2 poster for the original Japanese release. Completing one of the best poster designs we have seen for this picture, a bevy of bikini-clad beauties feature at the foot of the photomontage, with Elvis as the carefree sailor sandwiched between his two love interests, played by Stella Stevens...
