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! Condition: good. The poster is lightly rippled throughout and there are a few patches of slight discoloration scattered mainly in the upper half (in a pattern where a film reel had been placed on the back at one time while the poster was still folded). There is horizontal and vertical separation in the top and bottom crossfolds and there is a diagonal tear in the upper right blank corner, and those areas were repaired with tape from the back that bled through to the front. Someone performed some amateur paint restoration to those three defects (but only used white paint in areas of blank paper - see our image). There are pinholes around the edges and there are three small ink pen drawing on back of the upper right blank corner that slightly bleed through to the front. Obviously, this great poster can be restored, but bear the condition and the expense of restoration in mind before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
