This is an original ultra rare Japanese A4 pamphlet printed in 1965 for the first release of the second James Bond Film - From Russia with Love.
This is a vintage Japanese movie program or flyer for "From Russia with Love" (1963), the second James Bond film starring Sean Connery as 007.
The Japanese subtitle, "危機一発" (Kiki Ippatsu), translates to A Crisis with One Shot, emphasizing the film’s high-stakes espionage action.
Regarded as one of the best James Bond films, From Russia with Love follows 007 as he battles SPECTRE in a deadly game of espionage, deception, and betrayal. Tasked with retrieving a Soviet Lektor decoding device, Bond finds himself targeted by SPECTRE assassin Red Grant (Robert Shaw) and the sinister Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya). The film introduced many classic Bond elements, including intense hand-to-hand combat, seductive espionage, and a thrilling train fight sequence.
The cover design of this Japanese program features an iconic image of Sean Connery as Bond, dressed in a tuxedo and holding his Walther PPK with a long barrel, exuding his signature charm and confidence.
This Japanese first-release movie program is a highly collectible piece of James Bond memorabilia, especially from the Sean Connery era. With its sleek and minimalist design, it remains a sought-after piece for Bond collectors and classic cinema enthusiasts alike.
