From Russia With Love (1964)
From Russia With Love was the first Bond with a full score by John Barry, the composer who would define the sound of the series across eleven films. It also gave us Matt Monro's title song and Barry's own 007 theme, a stirring action cue that returned in several later films. Its most celebrated scene needs no music at all: the brutal fight between Bond and Red Grant in a cramped compartment of the Orient Express is still ranked among the finest screen fights ever filmed. Eunice Gayson returned as Sylvia Trench, Bond's girlfriend from Dr. No, the only time the early films tried to give him a steady romance.
This US One Sheet, from the American release, is a cornerstone of early Bond memorabilia, and a highly collectible example of 1960s studio poster design. Linen-backed, it sits right at the moment the series found its voice.
