  James Bond: Goldfinger

  £395.00

  “You see the gear lever here ? Now, if you take the top off, you will find a little red button. Whatever you do, don’t touch it. You’ll release this section of the roof, and engage and then fire the passenger ejector seat.”

  Sean Connery’s James Bond commands the centre of this striking Japanese B2 poster for the 1971 re-release of “Goldfinger”. Holding a silenced pistol, he appears within a vivid orange-red gun-barrel motif, accompanied by the celebrated Aston Martin DB5. Above him, the gold-painted figure of Jill Masterson provides one of the film’s most recognisable images, while oversized pale blue lettering creates a bold graphic backdrop. Unique to Japan, the design combines familiar Bond imagery with a distinctly different visual approach.

  Originally released in 1964 and directed by Guy Hamilton, “Goldfinger” pits Connery’s 007 against Gert Fröbe’s Auric Goldfinger and his audacious plans for Fort Knox. Honor Blackman stars as Pussy Galore, with Harold Sakata as Oddjob and Shirley Eaton as Jill Masterson. Its memorable villains, ingenious gadgets and unmistakable style helped establish the enduring appeal of the Bond series.

  Measuring 20.25 x 28.5 inches, this original Japanese B2 is presented rolled, as issued. Its lively colours and inventive composition make it an eye-catching display piece for collectors of “Goldfinger”, Sean Connery and distinctive Japanese James Bond posters.

  Trivia: First appearance of a laser beam in a movie. In the original script, the scene had a spinning buzzsaw (as in the novel) until it was decided that such an image had become commonplace and unoriginal.
