Woman of the Year (MGM, R- 1949) Japanese
<B>Woman of the Year (MGM, R-1947).</B></I> Japanese B3 (14" X 20"). Japan had to wait until several years after the end of World War II for the chance to see "Woman of the Year," originally released in America in 1942. This poster was released between 1947 and 1948, the first two years of the MPEA (Motion Picture Export Association) as the logo is seen in the upper right corner. The MPEA was set up in 1946 after the war ended to help spread the release of American-made movies in occupied Japan, both new releases and movies not released before the war. This is from the first Japanese release of this film. This is also the first cinematic pairing of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn which began a long professional and personal relationship. The poster has three small edge tears, with the one in the top border repaired with tape on the reverse. Rolled, Very Fine.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
