“Galia” (恋するガリア), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1966, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O765

This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1966 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Galia (恋するガリア), a France / Italy romantic drama directed by Georges Lautner, starring Mireille Darc with John Phillip Law.

Film background
Released in 1966, Galia is a stylish mid-’60s European romance with a distinctly mod sensibility—fashion, youth culture, and a modern city mood shaping the film’s tone as much as the love story itself. Led by Mireille Darc—one of the era’s great French screen icons—it captures that particular 1960s blend of cool detachment and emotional vulnerability, packaged for international audiences as chic, contemporary European cinema.

Poster design
A brilliant piece of Japanese graphic-modern poster design. The layout is airy and fashion-forward: a pale field, a full-body figure in black turtleneck and slim trousers posed like a model, and a huge close-up profile of Darc in oversized sunglasses—pure mod iconography. The typography is the star: galia in elegant Roman type, and the Japanese title 「恋するガリア」 rendered in oversized, multicolour letterforms (black, red, blue, green) that feel like pop-art signage. Small vignette imagery at upper right suggests the film’s light, romantic movement, while the overall design reads more like a 1960s style magazine spread than a conventional movie poster—exceptionally displayable.
