Bond's Aston Martin DB5 features in the artwork of this poster. It is the only original release film poster of any of the Sean Connery films that includes this car. RM Sotheby's is offering an Aston Martin DB5 as part of the James Bond on Bond Street auction, available to view on the sale overview page.


This was the third time that Sean Connery would play James Bond 007. The film was produced by Eon Productions, and was the first of four Bond films that Guy Hamilton would direct. This is a hugely popular film in the Bond series, with the unforgettable lines 'Do you expect me to talk?', 'No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die'.
