The Italian Job (1969), poster, first Japanese release (1970)

Unframed: 58 x 20 in. (147 x 51 cm)

During the 1960s, Japan produced some of the most striking film posters. This piece captures everything you could want from this classic Michael Caine film. The artwork is unique to this size piece. This poster was printed in two sheets, overlapped to form one piece when linen backed.

This rare larger format Japanese poster does not surface very often.

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!"
