‘You Only Live Twice’ (1967) Poster, British, Style B (Little Nelly)

In the movie, Bond is sent to Japan following the mysterious disappearances of American and Soviet spacecraft in orbit, with both nations pointing fingers at each other during the Cold War. Bond undertakes a covert mission to a secluded Japanese island to uncover the culprits, encountering Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the mastermind behind SPECTRE, face-to-face. This marks the first full reveal of Blofeld, previously only glimpsed. SPECTRE, operating on behalf of an unnamed Asian power, hinted to be the People’s Republic of China, aims to instigate conflict between the superpowers.
This installment marked the fifth James Bond film by Eon Productions, directed by Lewis Gilbert, the first of his three Bond films. The screenplay, loosely inspired by Ian Fleming’s 1964 novel, was penned by Roald Dahl. During production, Sean Connery’s retirement from the role of Bond was announced, although he later returned in “Diamonds are Forever” (1971) and “Never Say Never Again” (1983). The promotional efforts for the film’s release were extensive, featuring three distinct posters showcasing Connery: one in a bathtub surrounded by women, another with the iconic Little Nelly aircraft, and the third depicting Connery inside a volcano. Artist: Frank McCarthy (1924-2002). This superb large posters comes with a timeless made to measure custom black frame.
