A country of origin full-size 30" x 40" British Quad poster for the 1967 James Bond spoof spy film "Casino Royale". Screen rights to Fleming's first Bond novel, 'Casino Royale' were originally owned by producer Charles K. Feldman. After the huge successes of the more mainstream Bond films beginning with "Dr. No" in 1962, Feldman opted to adapt the novel as a spy-spoof, a parody with his big-budget madcap comedy very much in tone of the swinging, psychedelic sixties. The only real link to EON® films was the hiring of respected Bond illustrator Robert McGinnis to create the central theme and imagery. McGinnis in turn produced a stunning and multi-coloured image of a naked, psychedelic girl covered in 007 tattoos. It really is remarkable artwork and one of the most beautiful Bond film posters. Amazing colours complemented by eye-catching graphics, this originally folded (as issued) example has been lightly restored and conservation linen-backed (to a very high standard) with the original foldlines now almost undetectable. Being that British country of origin posters for the James Bond films are usually the most sought after of all Bond poster collectables this scarce item represents a fantastic piece of 007 movie memorabilia.
