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 "white smoke" version! Also note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are some light horizontal creases scattered throughout the poster (more so at upper left) and there are minor creases and smudges around the edges. There is a tack hole in the middle of the left blank border and there are a few tack holes in each corner of the poster with some somewhat enlarged from rough removal. There are some tiny tears in the blank borders around the edges of the poster. The NSS stamp on the back of the poster slightly bleeds through to the front in the right of the bottom edge. There is a small area of ink pen writing on the back of the poster at lower right but it does not appear to have any effect on the front. Overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition and it displays well and if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
