JAMES BOND: DR. NO

30" x 40"
Very Fine- on Linen; Artwork by Mitchell Hooks
United Artists, 1962

Slightly larger than the one sheet, 30" x 40" posters were produced in much smaller quantities; this poster is no exception. This auction also includes the 30" x 40" for Goldfinger. Neither of the posters was folded, making them more desirable and indeed more scarce than the one sheet.

There is sporadic airbrushing to the white and blue fields.

The first James Bond movie (based on the sixth book in writer Ian Fleming's series) stars Sean Connery, who remains widely viewed as the best-ever 007. It also gave Ursula Andress, as shell diver Honey Ryder, one of cinema's most memorable entrances.
