"James Bond is back in action!". The design of this huge and incredibly scarce 24-sheet poster is perfectly suited to the format. A massive image of the famous gold-painted character Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) is stretched over roughly 20 ft and completely dominates the design with a tactically-placed face of Sean Connery to appease the censors. A breath-taking poster and a must have for Bond completionists.
