From Russia With Love 1964 UK Double Crown Style B Film Poster

A razor-sharp piece of early Bond cool.

This is a rare original British Double Crown poster for From Russia With Love, the 1963 second outing for Sean Connery as James Bond. Directed by Terence Young, the film helped lock in the Bond formula: Cold War intrigue, brutal glamour, exotic travel, deadly gadgets and Connery at his most ice-cool. Often regarded as one of the finest films in the series, it pits Bond against SPECTRE in a taut spy thriller that still feels lean, stylish and seriously dangerous.

The design is wonderfully stripped-back and graphic. Connery dominates the image in stark black and white, pistol raised, tuxedo sharp, with the bold 007 device and bright blue border giving the whole thing a punchy pop-art edge. It is less busy than many Bond poster designs, which makes it feel incredibly modern — all attitude, type and silhouette.

As a British country-of-origin Double Crown poster, this is a particularly desirable format for collectors. Compact, stylish and rare, it has the kind of effortless mid-century swagger that works brilliantly framed — a proper slice of Bond history with serious wall power.

This vintage movie poster is sized 20 x 30 inches and will be sent rolled (unframed).
