This transparency features a striking image of 007. These transparencies, which are very high quality, were specially produced by the studio to send to media outlets, including newspapers and magazines, that required high quality colour images, as opposed to the usual black and white photographs.

The bespoke LED light box that has been made for this piece is suitable for UK and US electrical supplies, and has a separate lead for each country.

Transparencies are exceptionally rare.

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 line 'Do you expect me to talk?', 'No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die'.
