A guaranteed original and framed '8 x 10' publicity still for Peter R. Hunt's 1969 secret agent adventure "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", based on the 1963 Ian Fleming novel of the same name.
Following Connery's decision to step down as 007, relative newcomer George Lazenby was cast in the sixth film of the series, opposite Telly Salavas as SPECTRE's leader 'Blofeld' and with Diana Rigg as 'Countess Tracy di Vicenzo'.
Despite the offer of a seven film contract, it would be Lazenby's only outing as Bond. (He was allegedly convinced by his agent that the gentleman spy would be passé in the 1970's.)
This beautiful publicity still shows a sultry Diana Rigg. It would have been snapped during production and then used for promotion during the film's release.
The reverse includes publicity information from the studio and also records that at some point, it was part of the collection of Robert A. Brown. Robert was an internationally renowned collector of movie memorabilia and a leading member of the Oklahoma Alliance of Fans. His motto was "My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence." Very fitting for a film lover.
We will include a copy of the reverse for the new owner's records.
It is in amazing condition and has been framed by us in a black ayous wood frame with an iced white mount, protective barrier board and crystal clear acrylic glazing. As our photos show, it will look amazing on display!
We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.
Note: This publicity still is priced framed. Photos showing 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.
