The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), poster, British

Artist: Robert E. McGinnis (b. 1926)

Unframed: 30 x 40 in. (76 x 102 cm)

This was the ninth film in the series produced by Eon Productions. It was the second time that Roger Moore played James Bond, and the fourth and final time that Guy Hamilton would direct a Bond film. Christopher Lee plays the villain Francisco Scaramanga, whose golden gun is one of the most memorable Bond film props. The golden gun was made from Scaramanga's fountain pen, cigarette lighter, cigarette lighter and cufflinks—all made of gold. This film was loosely based on Ian Fleming's novel, published in 1965.

Condition Report:
Linen backed

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor restoration to folds, and a couple of very small minor tears in the top right edge. On the far right-hand edge of the poster by 'James Bond 007' there is a faint red line. This looks to be from the red ink when the poster was printed.
