Artist: Joseph Caroff & Mitchell Hooks Important Added Info: Note that there are two different (yet very similar) first release one-sheets for Dr. No, the first James Bond! One of them has a litho number of 62-2004, and that one looks incredibly like the other one, except the colors in the poster are slightly darker, and the biggest difference is that the smoke from Connery's gun is colored a yellow that matches the girl's leg (so that it is hard to realize it is smoke). The other one-sheet has a litho number of 62-2238, and the colors are clearly lighter, and the smoke from the gun has been changed to be white, so that it does NOT blend into the girl's leg! The only logical explanation for this is that the poster with the lower litho number was printed first, and then someone connected with the movie noticed that the smoke was not very visible, and they asked them to create a new one-sheet with different coloring so that the smoke would be more visible (and likely, at that time, they also asked them to lighten the colors, for whatever reason). The poster offered here is the "yellow smoke" version! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some separation and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had paper loss in the top blank corners and some tears and paper loss around the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was really nicely restored, but most of the borders were painted over, to "even them out", so while the poster displays well, bear the above in mind before bidding.
