Sean Connery is featured in four scenes on this spectacular large-format poster from the classic James Bond film. This particular example was folded but has been professionally linen-backed. It shows some touch-ups, extending from the bottom of the “R” in “CONNERY” to the “i” in “is” in the lower white area. Additionally, there is sporadic touch-up along the edges of three borders. The poster showcases a bright white background and rich, bold colors, enhancing its overall appeal.

The fifth James Bond movie features a script by Roald Dahl and is notable for significantly straying from the original Ian Fleming source material. Highlights of the film include a villain’s lair situated in a hollowed-out volcano, designed by Ken Adam, and Donald Pleasence’s brilliantly acerbic portrayal of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE.
