“Once Upon a Time in America” (ワンス・アポン・ア・タイム・イン・アメリカ), Original Japanese Theatrical Poster 1984, Rare, B1 Size (71 × 103 cm)

This is an original Japanese B1 theatrical poster printed in 1984 for the first Japanese release of Once Upon a Time in America. A genuine cinema display sheet produced for theatres in Japan and far scarcer than the smaller B2.

Film background
Sergio Leone’s operatic crime epic tracks Jewish street kids who rise to power in Prohibition-era New York, then reckon with betrayal and memory decades later. Starring Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, and an unforgettable score by Ennio Morricone, it stands as a pinnacle of the gangster genre.

Poster design
A powerful Japanese layout: De Niro’s Noodles and the gang loom at upper right, balanced by a bold, gold title lock-up integrated with the Brooklyn Bridge motif. Stills across the base hint at the film’s sweeping timeline—speakeasies, shootouts, and shadowed streets—while striking red Japanese titling delivers commanding wall presence at B1 scale.
