Country of origin, British UK Quad poster for Sean Connery's fourth outing as 007 "Thunderball" (1965). After the more subtle and stylised design used on the previous Bond film "Goldfinger", it was a return to the more traditional painted artwork for "Thunderball". The Robert McGinnis illustration (his first Bond campaign) places Bond centre stage in a scuba diving wetsuit amongst a group of scantily swimsuited Bond women. The famous "007" logo (so synonymous with the franchise even to present day) placed top left has been cleverly integrated into the "Look Out" tagline. Originally rolled, this scarce example remains in original unrestored condition with strong bright colours. It does have some obvious defects and age wear but nothing that couldn't be attended to by a qualified paper restorer. The condition issues are taken into account with a very competitive price guide.
