The style A poster shown in the previous lot was the main British poster used for the advertising campaign. However, Ireland was extremely sensitive to the provocative scantily clad golden image of Shirley Eaton, who played Jill Masterson, and therefore this style B (hand design) was created.


Exceptionally rare British poster, which hardly ever surfaces.


This was the third time that Sean Connery would play James Bond 007. The film was produced by Eon Productions, and was the first of four Bond films that Guy Hamilton would direct. This is a hugely popular film in the Bond series, with the unforgettable line ' Do you expect me to talk?, No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die'.
