"The Magnificent Seven" (荒野の七人), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1961, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) N58A
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1961 for John Sturges’s landmark western The Magnificent Seven. United Artists launched the film in Japan with its legendary ensemble: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, Horst Buchholz, and Brad Dexter, facing Eli Wallach as Calvera to Elmer Bernstein’s immortal theme.
Design
An iconic bright-yellow layout structured around a colossal “7”: at its apex a commanding portrait of Yul Brynner; within the numeral, vigorous vignette scenes of brawls, gunfights, and the village under siege. A delicate line-drawing cavalry frieze runs along the base, while a tender still of the lovers softens the right corner. The crisp red brush logotype 「荒野の七人」 and United Artists marks complete this quintessential first-issue design.
