"The name is Bond, James Bond..."
A guaranteed original U.K. quad movie poster from 1983 for "Octopussy", the thirteenth film of the James Bond series.
The sixth film to star Roger Moore as 007, it also starred Maud Adams (as 'Octopussy'), Steven Berkoff (as 'General Orlov') and Louis Jourdan (as 'Kamal Khan').
Premiering in London, with Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales in attendance, it would go on to take over $180M at the box office.
Although not scripted upon it, the film's title is taken from Ian Fleming's 1966 story Octopussy and The Living Daylights, which would also provide the title for Timothy Dalton's first Bond film.
This wonderful movie poster was originally issued folded, but has recently been linen-backed by our paper restorers and as our photos show, now displays incredibly well!
The landscape quad format allowed for a wider image area then the portrait format one sheet and the late Daniel Goozee used it wonderfully with some evocative and action packed artwork!
James Bond posters are highly sought after and Roger Moore brought a charm and wit to 007 that has not been matched since. This poster recalls a magical era for Bond.
