“Bond drives an Aston…naturally”
In 1965, Aston Martin released this tie-in advertisement poster featuring Bond’s DB5 in their dealer showrooms to promote their association with the James Bond franchise and the latest release “Thunderball”, at the time the highest grossing film series on record. Original, 1965 are extremely scarce and in some cases prohibitively expensive, but in 1999 Bond Producer’s EON authorised a limited edition licenced print run of only 400 posters. They were printed to approximately the same size as the originals (British double crown size – 20″ x 30″) and are identifiable by the unique limited edition hand written number on each one – in this case 384/400. Presented rolled in excellent condition this is hugely desirable and very collectable and would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia and is a truly impressive 007 poster.
Trivia: On October 27, 2010, the Aston Martin DB5 used in this movie and Goldfinger (1964) was sold, fully “loaded”, to American classic car collector Harry Yeaggy for a reported $4 million by London’s RM Auctions. The car had only one previous private owner, an American radio station owner named Jerry Lee, who purchased the car directly from the Aston Martin factory in 1969 for $12,000. Lee had kept the car at his Pennsylvania house for over forty years.

“Bond drives an Aston…naturally”
“Thunderball” sees 007’s fourth screen outing as the action moves to the exotic Bahamas as the agent with a licence to kill tackles S.P.E.C.T.R.E’s Emilio Largo who is holding the world to ransom with two stolen nuclear warheads. This photo montage style Swiss one-sheet features striking mixture of key scenes and characters. I particularly like the large 007 logo with Connery silhouette which runs across the bottom. The design is exclusive to the 1970s Swiss re-release and not found anywhere else. Presented in excellent unrestored folded (as issued) condition this presents superbly with minimal handling wear and represents a fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from the Sean Connery era.

“Tha Man. The Number. The License…are all back.”
Pierce Brosnan’s second and highly succesful Bond film “Tomorrow Never Dies”. This original 1997 country of origin UK Quad is quite excetional featuring the photographic talents of Keith Hamshere and George Whitear with design by art director Randi Braun…This is the very rare recalled version, although you would be hard pushed to see the difference between this version & the final release. Give up ? It’s Pierce’s stubble. The Producer’s felt that this semi unshaven look was not for their new re-inventing of the Bond franchise & ‘TOMMORROW’ is misspelt along the bottom border credits. Originally rolled (as issued) this scarce poster displays and presents to to very good effect and represents a fine example of collectible James Bond movie memorabilia.

“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.
