Original United Artists 30×40 Poster for the Guy Hamilton spy thriller, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971) starring Sean Connery, Jill St. John, Charles Gray, Jimmy Dean, and Lana Wood. Having quit the James Bond role “forever” in 1967, Connery was offered a huge amount of money to reprise his famous role one more time. He approached the role with new sense of amused and relaxed charm. Though using all the old tried and true Bond staples including Shirley Bassey singing the title song—this Bond movie has the most overly camp humor, the most nudity, and the rudest jokes of all of the 007 films up to this time. This original 30×40 poster is in fine plus condition– with some edge wear, border distresses and tears.

Original United Artists Subway Display Poster (45×60) for the Lewis Gilbert spy adventure, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967)–starring Sean Connery, Akiko Wakabayashi, and Donald Pleasence. This was the fifth in the James Bond series and had a budget of 10 million dollars, most of which was spent on fabricating the SPECTRE volcano headquarters. SPECTRE agent Blofeld (Pleasence) is set on taking control of the world by instigating World War III by literally “gobbling up” an American spacecraft and making the Americans think the Soviets did it. The British secret service devises an elaborate ploy to make everyone think Bond has been killed, but the resurrected hero secretly makes his way to the SPECTRE headquarters disguised as a peasant fisherman. Aided by Ninja soldiers, Bond accomplishes his task and once again saves the world from disaster. This 45 x 60 inch poster was used in subway stations to announce the film. While relatively rare, these subway posters are one of the more manageable of the large posters made to promote YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. The poster is folded and in fine plus condition. At the top border area there is one small browned spot.
