Poster: The artwork on this piece was also used on the standard size US poster. This format poster, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples.

This was the tenth of the James Bond films produced by Eon Productions, and the third starring Roger Moore. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert and also stars Barbara Bach, Curt Jürgens, and Richard Kiel in the memorable role of Jaws. It captured the imagination of everyone who saw it, with Bond's famous Lotus Esprit which converts into a submarine.
