In Sean Connery's second outing as James Bond, 'From Russia With Love' saw the British spy battling a secret crime organization 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. Issued for the first Japanese release of the film in 1964, this action-packed poster pictures a close-up Connery front and centre, floating within the cut-out digits 007, with his trademark Walther PPK cocked and aimed from above.

Very Good (B+)

Minor handling wear and a few minuscule edge nicks. Light rippling to right edge. A couple of printing creases through image, the largest 5 inches. A handful of faint 2.5 inch diagonal stripes to upper edge which appear to be printing flaws. Image and colours otherwise excellent.
