Goldfinger / Dr.No (1966r)
The mid-1960s were awash with spies, yet 1966 brought no new Bond film. Thunderball had opened at the end of 1965 and You Only Live Twice was still eighteen months away, while Hollywood raced to cash in with James Coburn in Our Man Flint and Dean Martin's Matt Helm in The Silencers. Television had caught the fever too, with The Man from U.N.C.L.E., whose hero Napoleon Solo was named by Ian Fleming himself, and Get Smart, the spoof created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Through it all the originals remained the standard, and audiences who had discovered Bond with Goldfinger could now go back and see where he began. Separated by just two years, Dr. No and Goldfinger show the whole leap from a modest island thriller to a worldwide event.
By 1966 United Artists could simply pair the first Bond with the biggest and fill cinemas all over again. This US One Sheet was printed for that double bill, to spend a few weeks on a cinema front and then be thrown away, which is why so few remain and why it is scarce today.
