  James Bond: Live And Let Die

  £495.00

  “Roger M007re is James Bond”

  An absolutely beautiful fine art print by Paul Mann for Roger Moore’s debut as Ian Fleming’s super-spy James Bond 007 in Guy Hamilton’s “Live And Let Die”. Mann has been commissioned to create alternative movie posters for all the early Bond movies and after finishing with the Connery titles has now moved on to Moore’s tenure, resulting in this sold out private commission offering. It is a movie poster in every sense of the word, with Mann recreating an incredible Bond posters. His detailed and stylish illustrations perfectly capture the voodoo theme of the movie, with the Tarot card display just amazing. Add to that the famous boat chase / jump sequence, the alligator farm, the enigmatic Solitaire (Jane Seymour), the villainous Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder) and you have a ‘perfect’ 007 poster. The use of the familiar title lettering and incorporating the “007” reference is worked into Roger Moore’s name and a dagger is also cleverly inserted into the “I” of the title script “DIE” adds a nice touch to Mann’s reworked artwork. Incredibly scarce, this one-sheet style (portrait) hand-numbered (#81/145) piece is offered as originally supplied, flat and unfolded (as issued). Printed on Fabriano Tiepolo Specialist Paper using 10 coloured inks it presents and displays to excellent effect with vibrant colours. A stunning item that represents a fine example of extremely collectable James Bond memorabilia.

  Trivia: The producers offered Clint Eastwood the role of James Bond, fresh from his success with Dirty Harry (1971). He was flattered, but declined, saying that Bond should be played by an English actor. Notably, Bond uses a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum in this film, the gun made hugely popular by the Dirty Harry film franchise.
