The Graduate (1967) movie program from Japanese release
The Graduate (1967) movie program signed on the release day in Japan. The movie program was obtained from a Japanese collector who acquired it from Toshio Ozawa's executive assistant's estate. I am the owner of several of these movie programs originally owned by the president of Sony Entertainment of Japan, Toshio Ozawa. Toshio Ozawa was Charmain at Sony Entertainment of Japan. He headed many projects including heading the development and marketing of the Compact Disk (CD) format as well as many others. Whenever a new movie premiered in Japan between 1960 to the mid-2000s, he would kindly ask the whole cast to carefully sign each program during the movie premiere of the film or promotional events in Japan. All signatures are from the release date and the program shows its age with minor border damage and page discoloration. Signed by the cast: Katherine Ross Dustin Huffman Anne Bancroft William Daniels Murray Hamilton Buck Henry Brian Avery
