JAMES BOND
FACT FILES

For every official general release or re-release of the James Bond films in the US from 1963-1983, a half-sheet poster (22" X 28") was produced for cinema displays and advertising purposes. These colourful and highly stylised posters are now collectors items and command high prices when sold at auction. Half-sheet posters often used different artwork to that featured on the main US 1-sheet. Half-sheets were printed on thicker paper than the 1-sheet and consequently prone to fading. This size of poster stopped being produced in the early 1980s and are highly sought after by collectors due the the horizontal format, which lends itself to framing more easily than the larger 1-sheets.

Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Live And Let Die (1973) had half-sheets produced to promote the films in the Eastern hemisphere which featured the usual contractual reversal of the producers credits; whereas Moonraker (1979) and For Your Eyes Only (1981) also had Style B half-sheet posters issued with alternate artwork the international market.

Displayed here for the first time are all half-sheet posters in release date order from 1963-1983.
