This 1974 re-release this Spanish One-Sheet for "Dr. No" (1962 - Agente 007 Contra el Dr. No) is a beautiful looking poster. 'Mac's' painted artwork from the original release in 1963 has been reworked for a more modern 1970s audience. The three 'Bond' women Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) and Zena Marshall (Miss Taro) are as stunningly rendered as before, but Connery's Bond has been updated with more suave, sophisticated illustration in the now traditional tuxedo whereas before he is shown knifing a security guard in the back. It's not the first time imagery has been updated in line with trends and political correctness and in this case it still makes for an excellent composition.27.5" x 38.25" (70 x 99 cm)Condition: Very GoodUnrestored, folded (as issued).
