An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Ian Fleming's Thunderball, the 1965 Terence Young English James Bond 007 secret agent spy espionage fantasy action adventure thriller ("L007k up! L007k down! L007k out!"; "Here comes the biggest Bond of all!"; "Based on the original story by Kevin McClory, Jack Whittingham and Ian Fleming") starring Sean Connery (as James Bond 007), Claudine Auger, (as Domino) Adolfo Celi (as Largo), Luciana Paluzzi, Rik Van Nutter, Martine Beswick, Guy Doleman, Molly Peters, Bernard Lee (as "M"), Lois Maxwell (as Miss Moneypenny), Desmond Llewellyn (as "Q"), Paul Stassino, Bob Simmons, and Rose Alba NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Robert McGinnis & Frank McCarthy Important Added Info: Note that there are THREE variations of this "look up! look down! look out!" style of one-sheet that are all original to 1965! There are two that look identical except for the reversal of the producer credits (this was done on almost all Bond movies, so that Broccoli and Saltzman could each come first in "half" the world!). But the third variation has completely different placement of the NSS information at the bottom, PLUS slightly different art. For instance, the top of Connery's tank at the top center of the poster has been cropped so that it doesn't extend past the border, the artwork in the middle section is cropped differently, and on the bottom panel, the blonde's leg (which extended past the brunette) has been removed. ALL THREE OF THESE POSTERS ARE ORIGINAL TO 1965, AND AS FAR AS WE KNOW, COLLECTORS VALUE THEM EQUALLY! We have no idea why this extra variation was created, but we do know that, when the movie was re-released in the early 1980s (perhaps 1980), the "cropped tank" variation artwork was used for that one-sheet. The poster offered here is definitely the 1965 one-sheet with the "uncropped tank"! Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few pinholes around the edges (some are torn or enlarged due to rough removal) but fortunately they all are in areas of blank paper. There are diagonal creases running alongside the left half of the upper horizontal fold and there are some light oval-shaped creases at the left edge of the center horizontal fold. There is a diagonal crease to the left of the center of the vertical foldline and there is a smaller one to the lower right of the top crossfold only. There is a tiny dot stain in the lower left blank border edge. The poster could be displayed as is, or after linenbacking the poster would display well (but in any case please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this poster prior to placing a bid.)
