“Daniel Boone: Frontier Trail Rider” / 「西部の男 ダニエル・ブーン」, Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1967, Fess Parker / George Sherman, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) T255

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster produced for the first Japanese release in 1967 of Daniel Boone: Frontier Trail Rider, produced and directed by George Sherman and starring Fess Parker, alongside Ed Ames, Patricia Blair, and Armando Silvestre.

The design combines a commanding portrait of Parker with covered wagons, frontier landscapes, and bold Japanese lettering—a colourful example of Japan’s distinctive advertising for American Westerns.

Film background
A theatrical version of the Daniel Boone television series, this 1966 production follows Boone as he leads a party of settlers towards Kentucky in the late eighteenth century. The journey brings dangerous encounters, betrayal, and a developing romance with Rebecca, played by Patricia Blair.

With a screenplay by D. D. Beauchamp and Jack Guss, the adventure combines the wagon-train Western with Parker’s familiar portrayal of the resourceful frontiersman. Its Japanese theatrical release was distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Poster design
Fess Parker dominates the composition, wearing Boone’s characteristic fur cap and fringed buckskin clothing, with his long rifle crossing the foreground. Behind him, a procession of covered wagons and horses stretches across open country beneath a dark treeline and pale blue sky.

The Japanese title 「西部の男 ダニエル・ブーン」 runs down the left in contrasting deep red and vivid scarlet lettering, balanced by blue promotional copy along the right edge. Smaller character portraits and action scenes complete the lower section.

At the bottom right, the yellow English billing “FESS PARKER as DANIEL BOONE” appears beside the 20th Century Fox emblem. The multicoloured 「総天然色」 lettering near the upper left advertises the film’s colour presentation.
