James Bond movie posters are very popular with collectors.  And of course, it all started in the 1960s.  Join Dan and Tom as they welcome the founder and editor of 007 Magazine, Graham Rye to help decode the 1960s James Bond posters.   

We are very happy that Graham was able to join us.  His knowledge of 40 years of James Bond that he has acquired by creating 007 Magazine is amazing. 

How much about these posters do you REALLY know? This is one of our episodes where we can predict you will hear something you didn’t know before.  

DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER, THUNDERBALL, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, and ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE all had very distinctive posters, lobby cards, door panels and more created to market each movie.   But, what’s behind those posters?  

Some of the things we look at include: 

• The difference between British and American posters 

• The action portrayed 

• The composition of the figure of Sean Connery’s James Bond on the cover of DR. NO 

• Who the talented artists were behind these posters 

 

You can find 007 Magazine here: JAMES BOND 007 MAGAZINE - FOR THE JAMES BOND CONNOISSEUR!  The amount of information they have is staggering.
