“You Only Live Twice…and “TWICE” is the only way to live!”
A series of three main general release poster designs were commissioned to promote Sean Connery’s fifth outing as 007 “You Only Live Twice” (1967) with artwork by both Robert McGinnis and Frank McCarthy used. Of the three different styles produced for the film, the “Style-C”– ‘Bath-Tub’ is the most difficult poster to find. Whereas “action” is the key selling point of the two Frank McCarthy designs, McGinnis focuses on Bond’s sex appeal with his poster design with risqué artwork featuring a Japanese ‘geisha’ girl with her hand washing below the waterline near to Bond’s groin area. The original 1967 Style C British UK quad movie poster offered here is presented in amazing unrestored, folded (as issued) condition and perfectly suited to the landscape style for which it McGinnis designed it for. Colours are strong and vibrant with the white background totally unfaded and bright. A true first release stating ‘Sean Connery IS James Bond’ – Connery was by now increasingly concerned of being typecast and insisted on this tagline to be changed to read AS instead of IS, with the later printings either having a glued snipe or reprinted AS. Measuring 30″ x 40″, NOT one of the slightly over-sized 31″ x 41″ posters that were printed a little bit later and used largely for provincial cinemas. Hugely desirable and very collectable, it would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia and is a truly impressive 007 poster.
Trivia: This marks the fifth and final on-screen appearance together of Sir Sean Connery and Lois Maxwell. In Diamonds Are Forever (1971), the scene where the disguised Moneypenny gives Bond his travel documents at the port of Dover, Maxwell and Connery filmed their lines separately, and were not present together for the short scene.

“You Only Live Twice…and “TWICE” is the only way to live!”
A series of three main general release poster designs were commissioned to promote Sean Connery’s fifth outing as 007 “You Only Live Twice” (1967) with artwork by both Robert McGinnis and Frank McCarthy used. Of the three different styles produced for the film, the “Style-A”– ‘Volcano Lair’ is easily the most action packed, as Frank McCarthy’s illustration shows a cool, calm, tuxedo-dressed Bond striding sideways along the walls of Blofeld’s volcano headquarters, keeping his cool in a chaotic landscape featuring explosions, rockets and machine-gun-equipped helicopters all around him. The original 1967 Style A British UK quad movie poster offered here is presented conservation linen backed, with the original fold lines barely noticeable with strong and vibrant colours. Perfectly suited to the landscape style for which it McCarthy designed it for. A first release stating ‘Sean Connery IS James Bond’ – Connery was by now increasingly concerned of being typecast and insisted on this tagline to be changed to read AS instead of IS, with the later printings either having a glued snipe or reprinted AS. Hugely desirable and very collectable, it would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia and is a truly impressive 007 poster.
Trivia: The volcano set cost almost as much as Dr. No (1962)‘s entire budget. It was so large, it could be seen from three miles away.
