“Notorious” (汚名), Original Japanese Re-Release Movie Poster 1982, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) M35A

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1982 for a Japanese re-release of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious (汚名), a United States espionage romance directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant, with Claude Rains.

Film background
First released in 1946, Notorious is one of Hitchcock’s greatest films—an exquisitely controlled blend of suspense and romance in which love becomes a weapon and trust becomes a liability. Bergman plays the daughter of a convicted Nazi, recruited into a dangerous mission that entangles her emotionally and morally, while Grant’s agent struggles between duty and jealousy. The film is famed for its psychological intensity, its elegant staging, and its iconic set-pieces (including the notorious key and wine-cellar suspense), making it a cornerstone of classic Hollywood thriller cinema.

Poster design
A beautifully modern Japanese re-release design built around mood and close-up emotion. Bergman’s tearful face dominates the upper field in soft, grainy monochrome, while the huge red kanji title 「汚名」 cuts through the composition with startling graphic force. The right margin stacks vertical credits in red, and small inset stills hint at espionage tension and intimate embrace. The lower band shifts to a cool-toned landscape vista (evoking Rio de Janeiro), grounding the story’s international setting and scale. Minimal, sophisticated, and extremely displayable—an art-house-style Hitchcock B2.
