“For a Few Dollars More” (夕陽のガンマン / Per qualche dollaro in più), Original Release Japanese Press-Sheet / Speed Movie Poster 1967, Size (c. 17 × 35 cm) P115

This is an original Japanese press-sheet / “speed” promotional piece printed in 1967 for the Japanese release campaign of Sergio Leone’s legendary Spaghetti Western For a Few Dollars More (夕陽のガンマン). (Note: the Japanese title printed on this item is 夕陽のガンマン, which corresponds to For a Few Dollars More—not A Fistful of Dollars.) Featuring Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, with music by Ennio Morricone, this is a scarce surviving example of mid-’60s Japanese Western ephemera—designed for publicity, exhibitor use, and quick in-theatre display rather than long-term preservation.

Film background
Released internationally in 1965, For a Few Dollars More is the second film in Leone’s Dollars Trilogy, and one of the defining works of the Spaghetti Western boom. Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” returns as a cool, amoral bounty hunter, forced into uneasy partnership and rivalry with Van Cleef’s older professional killer as both pursue the same target. Leone’s operatic staging, extreme close-ups, and Morricone’s unforgettable score pushed the genre into myth—helping shape modern action cinema for decades to come.

Design
A superb, period Japanese design that doubles as soundtrack / publicity-driven cinema ephemera. The piece features two iconic Eastwood images—a full-figure gunslinger silhouette against a sun-baked frontier horizon, and a tense close-up portrait with revolver at the ready—paired with bold Japanese title typography 夕陽のガンマン. The reverse / interior (as photographed) expands into a text-heavy press-style layout with striking monochrome imagery, scene stills, and Japanese copy—exactly the kind of material intended to sell the film’s atmosphere, star power, and Morricone’s score to audiences in the moment. The overall effect is unmistakably mid-’60s: gritty, cinematic, and intensely collectible for Leone / Eastwood / Morricone fans.
