Six Sheet (81" x 81") ; The Collection of the Late J. Stephen Ryan
Very Fine+ Folded
United Artists, 1963
Suggesting various ways to dispose of James Bond 007, this six sheet was printed on four panels and is folded as issued. It appears unused and shows only very mild fold wear, with two tiny chips on the bottom-right panel edge that would be hidden when the panels are joined.
"From Russia with Love," directed by Terence Young, is the second James Bond film starring Sean Connery. Bond aids Soviet clerk Tatiana Romanova's defection in Turkey, unaware SPECTRE plans revenge for Dr. No. Filmed in Turkey, Scotland, and Pinewood Studios on a doubled budget, it was a critical and commercial hit, earning over $78 million and becoming the first Bond film to win a BAFTA for Best Cinematography.
Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
