This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1969 for the first release of The Italian Job.
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.
This is one of the best loved British films, which stars Michael Caine in his most famous role. Caine delivers one of cinema's best lines 'you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off !'
