"Douce Violence" (甘い暴力), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1962, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA245
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed 1962 for Max Pécas’s sun-drenched French youth melodrama Douce Violence, starring Elke Sommer, Pierre Brice, and Christian Pezey. Set on the Riviera, the film tracks a restless teen circle drifting into theft, sex, and danger—very much of the early-’60s Euro-pop moment.
Design
A striking split layout: at left, a huge blonde close-up of Elke Sommer dominates above a turquoise waterski vignette; at right, a charcoal-grey field carries the monumental vertical red title 「甘い暴力」 with the English logotype DOUCE VIOLENCE. A sensual embrace anchors the lower right, with CinemaScope and Japanese billing blocks completing a glamorous import campaign.
