MWGG Poster Concept

Concept and final poster for "The Man With The Golden Gun" by Robert McGinnis.

Thunderball Artwork Sources

While catalogueing my photos I've noticed several ones that look like Robert McGinnis used them for his "Thunderball" artwork. Connery's head comes from the publicity photo-shoot for "From Russia With Love", the legs from a photo with Connery reading, Claudine Auger appears to be a composite of several publicity shots. Same goes for Martine Beswicke and Molly Peters.
