"Eighteen in the Sun" (大陽の下の18才 / Diciottenni al sole), Original First Release Japanese Movie Poster 1962, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O310

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster issued for the first release of Eighteen in the Sun—the Italian summer-romance hit starring Catherine Spaak and set on the glittering Riviera. A buoyant slice of early-’60s youth cinema, it mixes beach-party energy, music, and fashion with light romantic mischief.

Design
A bright, sun-washed composition built around Spaak’s radiant close-up in straw hat, with beach panoramas and dancing figures collaged below. Playful magenta title lettering splashes across the sky, while the circular Italian logo Diciottenni al sole nods to the film’s original release. The palette—coral reds, sea blues, and sun-bleached neutrals—bottles peak Mediterranean summer.

Condition
Excellent condition with the customary vertical and horizontal folds (as issued) and only minor handling to the borders. Please review the photos; they show the exact poster for sale.
