James Bond 007 Film Festival, the 1975 poster advertising a James Bond 007 Film Festival release. We would think that different posters were printed for each of the movies included in this festival (with each poster having the same image, but a different James Bond title at the bottom or a blank area where a snipe could be added or the title could be written in). However, the only posters for this "film festival" that have surfaced are a 1975 poster with "Thunderball" printed in the bottom, and a 1976 poster (with a completely different image) with "Live and Let Die" printed in the top left, which seems very curious. We don't understand why we would have encountered so many examples of the two posters with only the two titles, although it may just be that we haven't seen any others yet. Note that the artwork from the circle in the center of the style A poster was taken from the 1970 "Viva James Bond!" film festival. If anyone knows more about this film festival, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: This particular poster is from the festival showing of Ian Fleming's Thunderball, the 1965 Terence Young English James Bond 007 secret agent spy espionage fantasy action adventure thriller ("L007k OUT!"; "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, Adolfo Celi, Luciana Paluzzi, Rik Van Nutter, and Guy Doleman. Note also that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars.

Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson.

Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since!

But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world!

Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions!

As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked).

This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones).

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled!

Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "James Bond".
