    James Bond: From Russia With Love

    £825.00

    “To those unlucky few who missed “DR. NO”…You are unprepared for the sophisticated mayhem and the polished lovemaking. The James Bond bug has not bitten you. But take heart! There is still time to jump on the Bond bandwagon with the second James Bond adventure…FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. See it and we guarantee – you will be hooked for good !”

    One for the true Bond collectors and those who appreciate movie posters as an art form. This is one of the most visually stunning poster designs created for a Bond movie, for the French release of “From Russia With Love” (Bons Baisers de Russie) by artist Boris Grinsson. This same imagery was chosen for the front cover of the book ‘The Official 007 Collection James Bond Movie Posters’, which features an exclusive selection of 007 film posters from the collection of Eon Productions. Although a re-release the only difference in artwork to the original 1964 release is additional printer information along the bottom right edge and it is also worth noting that France was the only major country to screen “From Russia With Love” in the 1980s, with no releases in the United States or Britain. In Sean Connery’s second outing as Bond, he willingly falls into an assassination plot involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by SPECTRE. “From Russia With Love” remains on of the very best of the James Bond franchise. This is quintessential James Bond with Grinsson paying homage to Eric Pulford’s now famous Connery, Bond pose – used on every marketing campaign since. Connery (as Bond) is surrounded by key characters from the movie including a beautiful illustration of actress Daniela Bianchi (Tatiana Romanova) with Robert Shaw (Red Grant) as the SPECTRE hardman lurking in the background – the exotic city of Istanbul acts as the perfect backdrop. This early re-release from the 1980s is presented conservation linen backed and appears rolled, with minimal restoration it presents to excellent effect and looks magnificent, with vibrant bright unfaded colours. It doesn’t get much better than this, an eye-catching piece of James Bond memorabilia.

    Trivia: Although he had his reservations about the choice of Sir Sean Connery for the part of James Bond, after seeing him in this movie, Ian Fleming was completely won over by the actor. In fact, as a result, Fleming added a Scottish ancestry to Bond’s character in later novels.

  • Lawrence of Arabia Movie Poster

    Lawrence of Arabia

    £695.00

    ”A thousand Arabs means a thousand knives, delivered anywhere day or night. It means a thousand camels. That means a thousand packs of high explosives and a thousand crack rifles. We can cross Arabia while Johnny Turk is still turning round, and smash his railways. And while he’s mending them, I’ll smash them somewhere else. In thirteen weeks, I can have Arabia in chaos.”

    A personal favourite; film and poster, fully deserving of the reverence it is held in. With artwork by Howard Terpning, this original 1962 French ‘MoyenAffiche film poster for “Lawrence of Arabia” (Lawrence d’Arabie) is a truly stunning piece featuring deep, rich colours and beautiful painted artwork of a sabre wielding O’Toole (astride a camel) leading his Arab army into battle.  Eye-catching and memorable as O’Toole’s presence dominates (rightly so) the poster. A real find in such high grade condition, benefitting from being conservation linen backed with only light restoration to the original foldlines. A magnificent example that displays and presents to excellent effect and represents a scarce & highly collectable item of authentic movie memorabilia that is without argument one of the greatest movies ever made.

    Trivia: The scene where T.E. Lawrence is given his first Arab clothes wasn’t working as written, so Sir David Lean took Peter O’Toole aside and said, “There’s something missing, Peter. What do you think a young man would do alone in the desert if he’d just been given these beautiful robes?” He pointed out to the desert and O’Toole’s eyes followed. “There’s your theatre, Peter. Do what you like.” So, O’Toole improvised Lawrence looking at his reflection in his knife.
