Featuring superb imagery of 007 taking on SPECTRE from the air as well as underwater, this example is rolled with a horizontal fold across the center, which has small creases at the ends of the borders. There is also very mild corner wear.
"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: $400 - 800
