This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1964 for the first release of Paris When It Sizzles.
The design of the poster is one of the best for the film with artwork unique to Japan.
This almost 5′ tall STB poster features fantastic artwork. The tatekan STB format had much lower print numbers compared to regular Japanese B2s. They are very rare, especially for more popular film titles, and are highly sought after by collectors today.
Japanese designers created some of the most distinctive film posters of the 1960s. This piece is a good example of their creative flair.

Dissolute scriptwriter Richard Benson (William Holden) has just three days to complete a screenplay he's been avoiding for months, and it's up to his perky secretary Gabrielle Simpson (Audrey Hepburn) to make sure he meets his deadline.

The screenplay is by Axelrod based on the 1952 French film Holiday for Henrietta by Julien Duvivier and Henri Jeanson.
