Original French Release James Bond Octopussy, 1983

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A very rare and original French 'Grande' release poster from the 1983 'Octopussy'. A 1983 spy film and the thirteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions; it was the sixth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by John Glen and the screenplay was written by George MacDonald Fraser, Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson.

The film's title is taken from a short story in Ian Fleming's 1966 short story collection Octopussy and The Living Daylights, although the film's plot is mostly original. It does, however, contain a scene adapted from the Fleming short story "The Property of a Lady" (included in 1967 and later editions of Octopussy and The Living Daylights). The events of the short story "Octopussy" form part of the title character's background and are recounted by her in the film.

Bond is assigned the task of following a megalomaniacal Soviet general who is stealing jewelery and art objects from the Kremlin art repository. This leads Bond to a wealthy exiled Afghan prince, Kamal Khan, and his associate, Octopussy, and the discovery of a plot to force disarmament in Western Europe with the use of a nuclear weapon.

Octopussy was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson; it was released on the 6th June 1983, four months before the non-Eon Bond film Never Say Never Again. The film earned $187.5 million against its $27.5 million budget and received mixed reviews. Praise was directed towards the action sequences and locations, with the plot and humour being targeted for criticism; Maud Adams' portrayal of the title character also drew polarised responses. It is the only Bond film omitted from Phil Hardy's Science Fiction (1996), explicitly because it is "non-science fiction."

The artwork is by the French artist Michel Landi. This superb extra-large posters comes with a timeless made to measure custom black frame.
