DR. NO (1962) / FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963) - UK Quad Double-Bill Poster, 1965 Re-Release
UK Quad double-bill poster for the first two Sean Connery James Bond films "Dr. No" (1962) and "From Russia with Love" (1963), this for a 1965 re-release. It is believed that this was the first Bond double-bill feature. An alternate white background style Quad was also printed but the yellow background version is far scarcer. The poster carries four stickers (applied at the printers) which obscure text which reads "Sean Connery as James Bond". By 1965 Connery was growing concerned about type-casting and objected to the use of the word "as", hence the revisions made. The poster presents the familiar image of James Bond in his dinner jacket attire with gun in hand, a bevy of Bond girls, liberal use of the "007" emblem and a sympathetic symmetrical design. This is probably the rarest of all James Bond double-bill Quad posters. 30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm). Condition: Good Unrestored, folded with slight surface scuffing, a few small edge nicks including a 1" tear top right corner and the four additional (official) stickers. Poster overall in very good condition. Artist: Unknown Artist £600 - 800 VAT Status: M
