"1941" (1941), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1979, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA217
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1979 for Steven Spielberg’s wild ensemble comedy 1941, starring John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Nancy Allen, Toshiro Mifune, Christopher Lee, and John Candy—a manic satire of post-Pearl Harbor panic in Los Angeles.
Design
Big, explosive spectacle: a blazing orange sky and criss-crossing searchlights frame a chaotic Hollywood street battle, with planes swooping overhead and a giant beveled “1941” numerals block anchoring the center. Caricature portraits, slapstick vignettes, and the HOLLYWOODLAND sign pack the composition, while bold Japanese copy and credits ride a golden border—pure late-’70s blockbuster energy.
