Interesting how this poster includes what I assume is a pre-U.S. sale English translation of "Godzilla Against Mothra," yet Mothra gets obvious top billing in Japanese. I wonder what made Toho think Mothra was more popular in Japan, even after King Kong vs. Godzilla.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of my favorite posters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! Scott, I'm not sure why Mothra got top billing here!
