24-Sheet (232" X
104" approx) posters were produced to be used as billboard or subway art and
usually came printed in 12 sections. Printed on standard paper
stock very few
24-Sheet posters have survived, and are therefore some of the rarest
posters due to their size and low production numbers. Unlike theatre lobby
posters, 24-sheets would be pasted onto subway walls and covered up with
the next film to be advertised.
Every James Bond film
from 1964-1979, with the exception of The Man With The Golden Gun
(1974), had a 24-Sheet poster produced for advertising purposes. Alternate
versions were produced for the Western Hemisphere with the usual
contractual reversal of the producers credits and removal of the US MPAA
rating. |
