In Sean Connery's second outing as James Bond, From Russia With Love saw the British spy battling a secret crime organisation known as Spectre. The follow-up to 007's 1962 debut in Dr. No, Terence Young's From Russia With Love further developed the Bond formula with elaborate titles, fast-paced action sequences, a John Barry score and the introduction of Desmond LLewelyn as Q with his myriad gadgets, a role he would play for 36 years. With a bold colour block and photomontage design showing the suave secret agent in a series of poses with Bond girls Daniela Bianchi, Martine Beswick, Aliza Gur and Eunice Gayson, this style B US One Sheet announced James Bond is Back!
