Original French poster for the spy movie Thunderball directed by Terence Young in 1965 with Sean Connery as James Bond.

Thunderball is the biggest hit of the James Bond series instigated by EON Production up to the present day Skyfall in 2012. Directed in 1965 by Terence Young, it won the Oscar for best visual effects in 1966.

The film, which was originally intended to be the very first of the feature-length films inspired by Ian Fleming's books, is the only one to feature all nine 00 agents together. Secret Agent 007 is played by Sean Connery for the fourth and penultimate time. Claudine Auger, Miss France 1958, plays the role of Domino and is the first French actress to play a Bond Girl. Also in the cast: Adolfo Celi, Luciana Paluzzi and Rik Van Nutter.

This poster follows a pattern often found on French James Bond posters: a white background, and a composition of several drawings depicting the hero surrounded by women with a pleasant appearance and dashing outfits, and an action scene central to the film and related to the plot.

This visual identity can be seen on the original posters of the Dangerously Yours, Goldfinger, Good Kisses from Russia, The Man with the Golden Gun, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy...

The visual ofOperation Thunderbolt evokes the underwater sequences at the end of the film. Bond infiltrated the crew of the "villain", Largo, before he was discovered. There follows a memorable scene of harpoon and knife combat with the frogmen's unit, whose orange diving suit he also wears. An excerpt from this sequence is drawn in the frame on the right side of the poster, while the left side shows a confident James Bond standing with a drink in one hand and his harpoon in the other. Surrounded by four women in bathing suits, his gaze is assured despite his attire, which could make you smile.
