Stray Dogs (Toho, R-1962). Japanese B2 (20" X 28.5").
Akira Kurosawa fans will be delighted with this first time offer from Heritage, a country-of-origin homage to the black-and-white 1949 film Nora Inu (released in the U.S. in 1963 as Stray Dog). Toshiro Mifune stars as a young police detective whose gun is pickpocketed on a crowded bus. Not wanting to endure the shame of reporting his gun missing, he chooses to go out and find it himself (there were few weapons on the streets of Tokyo immediately following WWII). In the process of retrieving the stolen gun, he uncovers an entire crime ring. The poster shows only wrinkling and edge wear with tears and tape on the verso. Rolled, Fine+.
