Subway Poster (60" x 45") ; The Richard Schenkman Collection
Very Fine Rolled; Artwork by Robert McGinnis
United Artists, 1965
Sean Connery is surrounded by a bevy of aquatic beauties on this fantastic subway poster, which is rolled and shows only very minor edge wear, with small creases, edge nicks, and an unobtrusive area of very light toning in the white field along the left edge.
"Thunderball" is the fourth James Bond film and Sean Connery's fourth as 007, directed by Terence Young. Bond races to recover two stolen NATO atomic bombs from SPECTRE, confronting Emilio Largo in the Bahamas with help from Felix Leiter and Largo's mistress, Domino Derval, culminating in an underwater battle. Notable for extensive underwater sequences, it was the first Bond film in Panavision and the first to run over two hours.
Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
