This large-format poster, printed on two panels and folded, is in excellent condition. It has only minor cosmetic issues, including light border creases, primarily on the upper sheet; a diagonal crease in the lower-right corner of the upper sheet; and slight toning along the upper half of the right border on both sheets. The poster features a dark red background, making it an appealing unrestored example.
"You Only Live Twice" is the fifth James Bond film, directed by Lewis Gilbert with a screenplay by Roald Dahl, loosely based on Ian Fleming's novel. Largely abandoning the book's plot, it features an original story and massive volcano set visible from three miles away. The film was well received and grossed over $111 million worldwide-roughly $1 billion in 2024 dollars.
Estimate: $400 - 800
