  James Bond: You Only Live Twice

  £1,495.00

  “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.
