“A Flea in Her Ear” / 「パリの秘めごと」, Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1970, Rex Harrison / Louis Jourdan, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) T260

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster produced for the first Japanese release in 1970 of A Flea in Her Ear, directed by Jacques Charon and starring Rex Harrison, Louis Jourdan, Rosemary Harris, and Rachel Roberts.

The decorative Japanese design captures the film’s Parisian setting and romantic intrigue through heart-shaped photographic panels, colourful ornament, and a commanding portrait of Harrison.

Film background
Originally released in 1968, the film adapts Georges Feydeau’s 1907 farce La Puce à l’oreille, with a screenplay by John Mortimer. Set in Paris around 1900, it follows Gabrielle Chandebisse, who suspects her husband Victor of infidelity. Her attempt to lure him to a hotel through an anonymous invitation sets off a succession of misunderstandings, jealous confrontations, and unexpected encounters.

Rex Harrison plays two roles: the respectable Victor and Poche, a hotel porter whose identical appearance compounds the confusion. The ensemble cast brings Feydeau’s intricate machinery of mistaken identity and marital suspicion to the screen.

Poster design
A large portrait of Harrison, resting his chin above his folded hands, occupies the lower centre. Behind him, scenes from the film appear within a regular grid of heart-shaped frames, outlined in cream against rich green decorative panels.

The photographs mix colour, monochrome, and pink-tinted imagery, showing embraces, bedroom encounters, and startled reactions. Larger romantic vignettes overlap the grid at the lower corners, extending the film’s comic situations into the foreground.

Across the top, 「パリの秘めごと」 appears in flowing red lettering over a triangular panel patterned in pink, yellow, and pale green. An Eiffel Tower illustration completes the upper-right corner, while the original English title appears at the upper left.

The repeated hearts and carefully coordinated colours give the poster a particularly attractive decorative character.
