Delderfield") starring Alfred Lynch, Sean Connery (pre-James Bond and very young in this role!), Cecil Parker, Wilfrid Hyde White, Stanley Holloway, Kathleen Harrison, Eleanor Summerfield, Eric Barker, Terence Longdon, and Alan King. Note that after Sean Connery's giant success as James Bond, a savvy studio exec released this pre-James Bond movie in the United States in 1965 with a new title, and giving Sean Connery top billing and major artwork on the posters, to convince people that this was a major new Sean Connery movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most insert posters, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
