“Lady Ice” (ダイヤモンド・コネクション), Original Japanese Movie Poster 1973 First Release, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O173
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1973 for the first domestic theatrical release of Lady Ice (U.S., 1973), the sleek diamond-heist thriller directed by Tom Gries and starring Donald Sutherland and Jennifer O’Neill. Japanese country sheets for 1970s American crime pictures are highly collectible.
Film background
Insurance investigator Andy Hammon (Sutherland) tracks a glittering diamond-smuggling ring from Chicago to Miami, drawn into a cat-and-mouse romance with the enigmatic Paula Booth (O’Neill). Sun-drenched locations, undercover stings, and double-crosses drive this cool, early-’70s caper.
Poster design
A vivid montage country sheet dominated by O’Neill in a red dress poised atop a faceted diamond, ringed by action vignettes—helicopter chase, beachfront explosion, speedboat pursuit, and gunplay on city streets. A suave, pistol-wielding Sutherland stands left, while a large portrait of O’Neill in a wide pink hat anchors the background. The bold orange Japanese logotype 「ダイヤモンド・コネクション」 crowns the top, with the English title “LADY ICE” at the base. The Towa distributor mark and Eirin rating in the lower credits are classic hallmarks of an authentic 1973 Japanese theatrical sheet with striking wall presence.
