“Movie Movie”, Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1980, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O796

This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed for the Japanese theatrical release of Movie Movie (1978), a United States comedy directed by Stanley Donen, starring George C. Scott, with Trish Van Devere, Red Buttons, Eli Wallach, Art Carney, and an ensemble cast (including Barry Bostwick, Harry Hamlin, and Rebecca York).

Film background
Released in the US in 1978, Movie Movie is a playful “double-feature” homage—two separate stories presented as one evening at the cinema, affectionately spoofing classic Hollywood genres (a boxing melodrama and a showbiz musical-style tale). In Japan, the film is also known under the release title 「ブルックリン物語」, with this poster using the bold campaign title across the top.

Poster design
A spectacular late-1970s “showtime” design: the huge gold 3D Japanese title bursts like stage spotlights over a neon city skyline, while the centre collages musical performers, chorus-line energy, slapstick vignettes, and boxing-glove bravado—selling the film as pure entertainment variety. The palette (purple night sky, starbursts, theatre-light rays) gives it enormous wall presence and a perfect period look.
