Description

Thunderball (1965) poster, British, Advance


Art by Robert E. McGinnis (b.1926) and Frank McCarthy (1924-2002)


Unframed: 30 x 40 in. (76 x 102 cm)


The artwork and wording 'look up, look down, look out' was mainly used on the American poster campaign, and does not feature on the main British poster, which only features 'look out'. However, it was fully used on this advance British poster.


Very rare advance British poster, that does not surface very often.


This was the fourth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and starring Sean Connery. The film was directed by Terence Young, who had directed the first two Bond films. James Bond films are well known for their gadgets. This film is no exception with the introduction of Bond's Bell Rocket Belt (developed by Bell Aircraft Corporation).
