And so roger moore's fourth outing as agent 007 saw him head into outer space to prevent a plot to wipe out the world population and recreate humanity with a master race. Despite production costs more than double those of 'the spy who loved me' (1977), the space-age lark became the highest grossing 007 movie to date, until usurped by 'goldeneye' in 1995. The australian daybill poster featured the same spectacular silvery artwork by american artist daniel goozee as the british and us poster campaigns, which pictured bond in a spacesuit rather than his typical tux.

although a similar format, australian day bills are significantly rarer than us insert posters.
