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 tape stains and creases in the corners and in the center of the top and bottom borders. There is 1/2" of separation at the top crossfold and some tiny scuffs and creases on parts of some folds. There are some staple holes and creases in the rest of the borders. There are a few faint creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
