This poster was designed to promote a very small James Bond film festival in Italy in the 1970s. This poster is unique in design. Prior to conservation linen backing a 007 United Artists archive stamp could be seen on the reverse.
Exceptionally rare. No more than two of these posters have surfaced to-date.
This was the seventh in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the sixth and final Eon film to star Sean Connery. The film was directed by Guy Hamilton, in the second of four Bond films that he would direct. The film was based on Ian Fleming's novel that was published in 1956.
The Greg Ferland collection. Previously in a private collection of posters from United Artists' archive, which was discovered in Italy in the 1980s.
