“It’s the standard contract. Gives you seven wishes in accordance with the mystic rules of life. Seven Days of the Week, Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Seas, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers…”
Original 1967, first year of release Japanese STB/Tatekan movie poster for the Stanley Donen seven deadly sins comedy “Bedazzled”. After the success of the first two series of British TV show “Not Only … But Also” (1965-1970), comic duo Dudley Moore and Peter Cook star in their second big screen outing. “Bedazzled” sees Stanley Moon (Moore) sell his soul to The Devil (Cooke) in exchange for seven wishes. Raquel Welch features as Lust and, with her climb to fame from “One Million Years B.C”. Japanese posters put her front and centre for the obvious sex appeal. The Japanese tatekan poster (as offered here) is printed in two pieces which were designed to be pasted together on the bill boards. Far rarer, and more striking than the more common Japanese B2 posters, they are highly sought after. Eye catching, country unique design, exclusive to the Japanese release this excellent rolled, flat/unfolded example displays superbly and represents one of the most colourful and best looking posters from the period and an amazing example of cinema memorabilia.
Trivia: Although Raquel Welch is featured in most of the promotional material for this movie, she is on-screen for only roughly seven minutes.

“Diamonds Are Forever” Japanese STB/Tatekan film poster, presented in totally original unrestored condition. An absolutely beautiful 1971 original movie poster for Sean Connery’s final (official) outing as Ian Fleming’s super-spy James Bond 007 in Guy Hamilton’s “Diamonds Are Forever”. Robert McGinnis was commissioned to provide the initial imagery and (in my opinion) created one of the finest Bond posters ever with the format of the Japanese tatekan my favourite way to display McGinnis’ artwork – the central figures are highlighted and the oversized 007 logo never lets you forget you are going to see a James Bond movie. McGinnis’ detailed and stylish illustrations perfectly capture the whole ‘action, adventure, glamour’ Bond theme; pretty much the ‘perfect’ 007 poster as Bond travels the globe from Amsterdam to the casinos and neon lights of Las Vegas. Incredibly hard to source in this high grade condition, whether it’s the coloured inks or the type of paper used, the colours are incredible rich with real depth and saturation. This originally unfolded, rolled (as issued) example presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a fine example of a scarce and extremely collectable James Bond vintage movie poster.
Trivia: Sir Sean Connery made the most of his time on-location in Las Vegas: “I didn’t get any sleep at all. We shot every night, I caught all the shows and played golf all day. On the weekend I collapsed, boy, did I collapse. Like a skull with legs.” He also played the slot machines, and once delayed a scene because he was collecting his winnings.

“Far Up…Far Out…Far More..”
An outstanding first year of release Japanese STB/Tatekan movie poster for George Lazenby‘s one & only appearance as Ian Fleming’s super spy James Bond in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. A magnificent, James Bond poster with bold vibrant colours and a combination of intricate and detailed all-action artwork combining the artwork of Frank McCarthy and Robert McGinnis with photographic imagery. Immediately recognisable as a Bond film and at almost 5′ tall it’s truly impressive. Genuinely rare, the tatekan STB format had much lower print numbers compared to regular Japanese B2s. Offered in two sections as distributed to cinema and presented unrestored in original rolled condition this example displays to superb effect and represents a fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from one of the most respected entries in this long running franchise.
Trivia: George Lazenby suggested a scene where Bond skis off a cliff and opens a parachute. This was scrapped, as the filmmakers lacked the resources to pull it off. It was used as the opening for The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
