This transparency was designed to be of a very high quality, as it was sent to high-end magazines and newspapers that required a superior image, as opposed to the regular black and white production stills. A tiny quantity of these were produced compared to the black and white production stills.

The bespoke LED light box in which this piece is housed is suitable for UK and US electrical supplies and has a separate lead for each country.

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."
