This size poster was used for drive-ins and special displays. It was printed on a heavier paper stock and was distributed rolled. Far fewer of this size poster were printed, and many got folded over the years. This poster is in its original unfolded state.

This was the fifth James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert, in the first of three Bond films that he would direct for Eon Productions. The screenplay for the film was written by Roald Dahl, and is vaguely based on Ian Fleming's 1964 novel. During filming it was announced that Sean Connery would retire from playing Bond, although he did make a come back in Diamonds are Forever in 1971 and Never Say Never Again in 1983.

Very good condition, colours remaining very bright, minor restoration to surface creases.
