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! We are also currently auctioning the "white smoke" version in a separate auction. Condition: very good. The poster has some creases scattered down the right border and a tiny stain in the bottom right corner that may be a minor printing defect. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition and has never had any sort of restoration. Learn More about condition grades
