  Clockwork Orange

  £325.00

  “Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”

  Without doubt the most controversial film of its day, and that’s saying something when you consider it was released alongside “The Exorcist” and “Last Tango in Paris”. This original 1972 publicity still from the American release of Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent masterpiece “Clockwork Orange” is quite simply an incredible visual image – original  stills are notoriously hard to come by with the majority on offer modern reprints. Showing a close up of the Director-Producer the snipe on the reverse carries the correct reference number (SKB-130) and the following – STANLEY KUBRICK, producer-director of “A Clockwork Orange”, a Warner Bros. release. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, the film was adapted to the screen by Kubrick.” It still remains his most controversial work; quite a feat when one considers the range of topics the filmmaker explored across his remarkable career. This superb  example is presented flat/unfolded (as issued) and displays to excellent effect with only very minimal handling wear. A superb addition to any collection (for display or investment) and an incredibly scarce piece of film and cultural memorabilia.

  Trivia: The film was unavailable for public viewing in the UK from 1973 until 2000, the year after Stanley Kubrick‘s death. British video stores were so inundated with requests for the movie that some took to putting up signs that read: ‘No, we do not have A Clockwork Orange (1971).’

  James Bond: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

  £195.00

  “HOW MRS 007 MET HER MAN”

  A black and white publicity still from the first year of release 1969 for George Lazenby‘s one & only appearance as Ian Fleming’s super spy James Bond in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. A fantastic image featuring not only Lazenby as Bond, but also Diana Rigg as Teresa ‘Tracy’ Draco the soon to be Mrs.Bond (SPOILER: although not for very long). There was reputed to be a real lack of rapport between the two characters it was reported as a frosty relationship on set – I think that comes across very well here, either that or hats off to Ring for some first class acting. This is the first time I have seen this image, with Bond collectors stating it being particularly scarce. Presented unrestored in original flat and unfolded (as issued) condition this rare example displays very well with only some light handling and age wear. The rear of the still carries a printed snipe titled “HOW MRS 007 MET HER MAN” with a full breakdown of the scene and further information regarding the production. A fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from one of the most respected entries in this long running franchise.

  Sold in a photographic mount, which can be removed if desired.

  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).
