A small-size newspaper focused entirely on the movie industry, the prime feature being a back page advertisement for the upcoming double movie re-re-release showing of "DR. NO" & "GOLDFINGER" in September starring Sean Connery. This ad contains photos of the first two Bond Women, Honey Rider & Pussy Galore. (see images) See below for details.
Eight pages, measure 12 x 9 inches, printed on coated stock paper, a little spine wear, generally good.
Background: The September 1966 double feature of Dr. No and Goldfinger stands out as a unique moment in 007 history because it bridged the gap between the groundbreaking origin of "Bondmania" and its visual peak, offering fans a back-to-back theatrical showcase of Sean Connery's first and most celebrated outings. Beyond combining the grounded, island-bound spy thriller of Dr. No with the gadget-laden, mega-budget excess of Goldfinger, the re-release generated distinct promotional materials that are highly prized by collectors today. Specifically, United Artists created a dedicated theatrical trailer featuring soundalike voice actors hilariously re-creating dialogue for villains Dr. No and Auric Goldfinger, alongside a striking, Pop Art-inspired US One-Sheet poster that juxtaposed Connery with glamorous imagery of Honey Ryder and Jill Masterson. Because these double-bill promotional items had a brief, single-season distribution run strictly designed to tide audiences over until You Only Live Twice in 1967, original 1966 re-release posters, lobby cards, and press kits are significantly rarer and far more sought-after than standard solo-release materials from that decade.
