Ultraman: Monster Movie Feature (長篇怪獣映画 ウルトラマン, Chōhen Kaijū Eiga Urutoraman) is a 1967 Japanese superhero kaiju film directed by Hajime Tsuburaya, with special effects by Koichi Takano. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions and distributed by Toho Co., Ltd., it is the first film in the Ultraman franchise, consisting entirely of re-edited material from the original series. In the film, an extraterrestrial defends Earth from giant monsters who pose a threat to humanity.
Ultraman: Monster Movie Feature was released theatrically in Japan on July 22, 1967, where it was distributed by Toho as double feature with their film King Kong Escapes, which was less popular among Japanese children upon its release. During its theatrical run, it grossed ¥200 million in just three theaters in Tokyo.

This poster was displayed in the cinema at the time almost 60 years ago. We can tell that this poster was actually used as Japanese cinemas stuck posters together when they displayed them - on the reverse of this poster you can see at the bottom edge part of another poster that was playing at the same time. We see this quite often and find it really interesting to look at old pictures of cinemas when the posters were actually displayed to try and identify which films were showing at the same time!
