“Ninotchka” (ニノチカ), Original Japanese Re-Release Movie Poster 1960, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA221

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1960 for a Japanese re-release of Ninotchka (1939), the celebrated MGM romantic comedy starring Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas, directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Famous for its mix of sophisticated “Lubitsch touch” wit and star-powered charm, the film remains one of Garbo’s most iconic late-career roles—often remembered for the marketing hook that “Garbo laughs,” signalling her rare turn toward comedy.

Design
A classic, glamorous Japan-market photographic design with strong mid-century elegance: Garbo and Douglas are captured in a sweeping dance-dip pose, rendered in warm sepia tones that evoke old-Hollywood romance. The typography is superbly balanced—large teal katakana 「ニノチカ」 across the top, with bold red billing beneath (Garbo / Douglas / Lubitsch). A small ensemble image at the bottom adds a light comedic note, reinforcing the film’s sophisticated farce-and-romance tone. A highly displayable, beautifully composed Japanese re-release sheet.
