Thunderball (1965)

An original 1965 United Artists Black and White Publicity Still #T-L-2A, unframed.

Sean Connery as James Bond checking his underwater gear before heading into the mission.

Thunderball's underwater world was largely made in Florida. The Miami diver and inventor Jordan Klein built much of its hardware, from Bond's jet-propelled backpack with its built-in spear guns to the sleds that tow Largo's frogmen into battle. Behind the camera was Lamar Boren, the underwater cinematographer of television's Sea Hunt, who shot the action in the clear waters off the Bahamas. Their work stood up to the Academy's scrutiny, and the film won the Oscar for special visual effects.
