A rare and original u.s release (1965) poster from the james bond 007 blockbuster, thunderball. A 1965 spy film and the fourth in the james bond series produced by eon productions, starring sean connery as the fictional mi6 agent james bond. It is an adaptation of the 1961 novel of the same name by ian fleming, which in turn was based on an original story by kevin mcclory, jack whittingham, and fleming, and an original screenplay by jack whittingham. It was the third and final bond film to be directed by terence young, with its screenplay by richard maibaum and john hopkins. The movie would have been the first of the bond series if not for legal disputes over copyright.
the film follows bond's mission to find two nato atomic bombs stolen by spectre, which holds the world for ransom of £100 million in diamonds under its threat to destroy an unspecified metropolis in either the united kingdom or the united states (later revealed to be miami). The search leads bond to the bahamas, where he encounters emilio largo, the card-playing, eye patch-wearing spectre number two. Backed by cia agent felix leiter and largo's mistress, domino derval, bond's search culminates in an underwater battle with largo's henchmen. The film's complex production comprised four different units and about a quarter of the film comprised underwater scenes. Thunderball was the first bond film shot in widescreen panavision and the first to have a running time of over two hours.
this large american billboard poster was printed in two sheets, and the only way to display it was to paste it onto billboards. Therefore only unused copies survived.
art by robert e. Mcginnis (b.1926) and frank mccarthy (1924-2002). This superb extra-large posters comes with a timeless made to measure custom black frame. This poster features a production number 65/372.
