Dr. No (1962) poster, US


Art by Joseph Caroff (dates unknown) and Mitchell Hooks (1923-2013)


Unframed: 81 x 81 in. (206 x 206 cm)


This large US billboard poster was printed in four sections, which were designed to overlap when pasted onto billboards. Therefore only those posters which hadn't been used survived.


There were several different size American posters designed for the American release of the film. This large billboard poster is one of the rarest of the American posters.


This was the very first James Bond film, and paved the way for a hugely successful series of films, which continues today. This film was produced by Eon Productions, directed by Terence Young and stars Sean Connery and Ursula Andress. It was based on the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. Although made on a low budget, this film established many themes that are iconic and synonymous with Bond films.
