Lumet’s location shooting in New York and Pacino’s committed portrayal of a man increasingly isolated from his peers helped define the decade’s new realist crime films and earned the actor an Academy Award nomination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"9522\" data-end=\"10310\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"9522\" data-end=\"9539\"\u003ePoster design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"9539\" data-end=\"9542\"\u003eThe Japanese B2 balances star portraiture with urban action. The top half is dominated by a large monochrome close‑up of Pacino’s face, long hair and beard framing watchful eyes and a pair of sunglasses perched on his head. Below, a colour illustration shows him in police uniform, sidearm drawn, backed by a skyline of New York and a squad of armed officers surging forward in pursuit—visualising his dual role as insider and whistle‑blower. The bold red Japanese title 「セルピコ」 anchors the bottom, with “AL PACINO in SERPICO” in bright green English type to one side, giving the design both international and local flavour. Vertical Japanese copy along the left margin emphasises the film’s true‑story basis and the date of the shooting that sets its plot in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"10312\" data-end=\"10608\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"10312\" data-end=\"10325\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"10325\" data-end=\"10328\"\u003eExcellent.
