The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Original British poster
Artist: Robert E. McGinnis (b.1926)

Unframed: 30 x 40 in. (76 x 102 cm)

Unfolded and linen backed

The vast majority of these posters were distributed folded. This is a rare unfolded example.

This was the ninth film in the series produced by Eon Productions. It was the second time that Roger Moore played James Bond, and the fourth and final time that Guy Hamilton would direct a Bond film. Christopher Lee plays the villain Francisco Scaramanga, whose golden gun is one of the most memorable Bond film props. The golden gun was made from Scaramanga's fountain pen, cigarette lighter, cigarette lighter and cufflinks - all made of gold. This film was loosely based on Ian Fleming's novel, published in 1965.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor wear to the centre top edge of the poster.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
