# Poster for the film Eternity (Wan shi liu fang), China and Manchukuo Film Association (1943)

Japanese-language release poster for the film Eternity (Wan shi liu fang): red title bar, credits, and a photograph of two actresses. The headline says film has bound China, Manchuria and Japan, that a film of peoples who 'swear to overthrow Britain and America' is acclaimed in Shanghai, and that it arrives in Japan soon. The tell: the film is sold as proof of Greater East Asian unity, citing a Shanghai reception that cannot be checked from the poster.
