Linen backed, unframed: 81 x 81 in. (206 x 206 cm). Art by Robert E. McGinnis and Frank McCarthy.
This large format poster was printed in three sheets and designed to be pasted onto billboards. Therefore only unused examples survived. Far fewer of this size poster were printed.
This US six sheet does not surface very often, especially in such good condition.
This was the fifth James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert, in the first of three Bond films that he would direct for Eon Productions. The screenplay for the film was written by Roald Dahl, and is vaguely based on Ian Fleming's 1964 novel. During filming it was announced that Sean Connery would retire from playing Bond, although he did make a come back in Diamonds are Forever in 1971 and Never Say Never Again in 1983.
