"Murder, Inc." / “Shadow of Fear” (殺人会社), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1960, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA247

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1960 for Murder, Inc. (20th Century-Fox), released domestically under the hard-hitting title 「殺人会社」 (“Murder Company”). Directed by Burt Balaban and Stuart Rosenberg, the film dramatizes the Brownsville crime syndicate, with standout performances from Stuart Whitman, May Britt, Henry Morgan, and a scene-stealing Peter Falk (Oscar-nominated).

Design
Gritty exploitation style with comic-noir flair: a giant blood-red title 殺人会社 drips down a rough-textured white field, encircled by vignettes of beatings, police dragnets, and tenement chases. At lower right, a bold pistol silhouette houses the English line SHADOW OF FEAR, while the Fox logo and Cinemascope tag complete the late-’50s/early-’60s crime aesthetic—raw, eye-grabbing, and very displayable.

Condition
Very Good / Excellent. Please review the photos—they show the exact poster for sale.
