The Upper Hand (1966) Original Japanese Poster B2 45839 and mythologyFrench crime film starring Jean Gabin and George Raft, directed by Denys de La Patelliere. This 1966 B2 poster (51x73cm) dates from the golden age of Japanese theatrical poster production, when international crime films received lavish promotional treatment in the Japanese market. Gabin's rugged screen presence translated well to Japanese poster art. A rare find from mid 1960s Franco American crime cinema.
