Description
JAMES BOND: ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
Photobustas (6) (18" x 26.25")
Fine+ Rolled
United Artists, 1969
The photobustas have been rolled and have some warping from doing so and there is some minor edge wear. The original cover for the photobustas is included as well.
When Sean Connery announced that he was leaving the James Bond franchise, the hunt was on for a replacement. Although the names of many well-known actors were floated - including future Bonds Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton - the role eventually went to Australian fashion model George Lazenby. This actor had only appeared in commercials previously (Lazenby initially met producer Albert R. Broccoli when they were both getting their hair cut at the same barbershop). The film is one of the most faithful adaptations of any source novel and is widely considered one of the franchise's finest films. Opposite Diana Rigg as Tracy DiVincenzo and opposing the formidable Telly Savalas as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who is threatening to devastate the world with a deadly virus, Lazenby made a fascinating Bond, stripped of most of the gadgets that had come to characterize Connery's portrayal.
This lot will be auctioned on Friday, April 19th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace. Note other lots in the auction may close on April 18th.
