You Only Live Twice – Japanese Taketan

An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Japanese Two-Panel “STB” or “Tatekan” Movie Poster (2p; measures 20″ x 57″ [51 x 145 cm])

Ian Fleming’s You Only Live Twice, the 1967 Lewis Gilbert English James Bond 007 secret agent spy espionage fantasy action adventure thriller (“…and ‘Twice’ is the only way to live!”; “Sean Connery IS James Bond”; “First Then Next Last”; “This man is James Bond!”; “Screenplay by Roald Dahl”; based on the story by Ian Fleming) starring Sean Connery, Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Donald Pleasence (as Blofeld), Bernard Lee (as “M”), Lois Maxwell (as Miss Moneypenny), Desmond Llewelyn (as “Q”), Tetsuro Tanba, Karin Dor, and Tsai Chin

Condition: Very good. Prior to linebacking, both sections had some small discoloration along the top and bottom edges, and in just a few tiny areas. There was fold and border wear and a few tiny pinholes around the edges. The upper section has a long diagonal scuff at upper left and there were smudges. There was a tiny tear at center that has been repaired with tape from the back. The lower section has a few faint smudges. Since restoration/linen backing, all of these issues have been ironed out and this now displays very well.
