    James Bond: Diamonds Are Forever

    £795.00

    “Diamonds Are Forever”…forever…forever…forever…”

    “Diamonds Are Forever” Japanese STB/Tatekan film poster, presented in totally original unrestored condition. An absolutely beautiful 1971 original movie poster for Sean Connery’s final (official) outing as Ian Fleming’s super-spy James Bond 007 in Guy Hamilton’s “Diamonds Are Forever”Robert McGinnis was commissioned to provide the initial imagery and (in my opinion) created one of the finest Bond posters ever with the format of the Japanese tatekan my favourite way to display McGinnis’ artwork – the central figures are highlighted and the oversized 007 logo never lets you forget you are going to see a James Bond movie. McGinnis’ detailed and stylish illustrations perfectly capture the whole ‘action, adventure, glamour’ Bond  theme; pretty much the ‘perfect’ 007 poster as Bond travels the globe from Amsterdam to the casinos and neon lights of Las Vegas. Incredibly hard to source in this high grade condition, whether it’s the coloured inks or the type of paper used, the colours are incredible rich with real depth and saturation. This originally unfolded, rolled (as issued) example presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a fine example of a scarce and extremely collectable James Bond vintage movie poster.

    Trivia: Sir Sean Connery made the most of his time on-location in Las Vegas: “I didn’t get any sleep at all. We shot every night, I caught all the shows and played golf all day. On the weekend I collapsed, boy, did I collapse. Like a skull with legs.” He also played the slot machines, and once delayed a scene because he was collecting his winnings.

    £95.00

    “I think you’re a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appealed to that young woman I sent out to evaluate you.”

    “A series of stories following a week in the life of a philandering tabloid journalist living in Rome.”

    One of the best and most acclaimed movie ever made, Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. Anita Ekberg takes centre stage with imagery that is unique to this 1982 Japanese release. Whilst Ekberg is presented in full vibrant colour with the background imagery – a combination of key scenes from the movie presented in muted colours, giving a 3D type of effect for Ekberg who literally pops from the paper.

Federico Fellini took the name “Paparazzo”, as he explained in a later interview, from the name of someone he met in Calabria (Southern Italy) where Greek names are still common. “Paparazzi” is the plural.
