"River of No Return", Original Re-Release Japanese Movie Poster 1970, B2 Size (51 x 73cm) C88

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1970 for the re-release of River of No Return, directed by Otto Preminger and distributed in Japan by 20th Century Fox.

Originally released in 1954, River of No Return stars Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum in a rugged western adventure set against the untamed wilderness of the American frontier. Monroe plays Kay, a saloon singer who joins forces with farmer Matt Calder (Mitchum) and his young son as they attempt to survive both natural dangers and human threats on a perilous river journey. The film combined action, romance, and music, and remains one of Monroe’s most memorable mid-career performances.

The 1970 Japanese poster design highlights Monroe’s star power: a glamorous full-length illustration of her in stage costume, guitar in hand, dominates the layout. Surrounding scenes from the film depict roaring rapids, violence, and romantic moments, reinforcing both the perilous setting and the dramatic human relationships. The bold calligraphic Japanese title 「帰らざる河」 runs vertically alongside the English subtitle River of No Return, emphasizing both its Hollywood prestige and its Japanese release identity.
