From Russia With Love (1963)

An original United Artists b&w photo still from ‘From Russia with Love’ (1963).

Featuring Sean Connery as James Bond alongside Eunice Gayson. The image captures a relaxed yet quietly charged moment, with Bond seated shirtless on a small boat, turning back with a watchful expression as Gayson reclines beside him amid calm water and overhanging foliage. The setting suggests leisure and intimacy, but Bond’s alert posture subtly undercuts the tranquillity, reinforcing the film’s ever-present tension.

This still reflects the more restrained, realistic tone that defines From Russia with Love. Rather than portraying Bond as effortlessly dominant, the film often places him in moments of uncertainty and guarded connection. The inclusion of Eunice Gayson, who previously appeared as Bond’s lover in Dr. No, adds an extra layer of early-series continuity and understated sophistication. As a vintage publicity image, the still offers a quietly revealing glimpse of Bond at his most human, balancing vulnerability, suspicion, and sensual restraint.

This still includes a Snipe on the reverse, adding another layer of provenance and authenticity to the piece.
