From Russia With Love (1964) Original French Grande Movie Poster by Boris Grinsson
We absolutely love Boris Grinsson’s exceptional artwork and striking use of color on this original French Grande poster for From Russia With Love. Released in France in 1964, this first-release poster is an exceptionally rare example and survives in remarkable condition, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of James Bond memorabilia and classic cinema posters.
In Sean Connery’s second appearance as James Bond, 007 becomes entangled in a deadly assassination plot involving a mysterious Russian agent while attempting to recover a stolen Soviet encryption device from the criminal organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Widely regarded as one of the finest entries in the Bond series, From Russia With Love represents the pure essence of classic Bond filmmaking — espionage, intrigue, romance, and unforgettable style.
Born in Russia in 1907, Boris Grinsson became one of France’s most celebrated film poster artists. During a career spanning more than forty years, from the 1930s through the 1970s, he created artwork for over 2,000 French film posters covering American, Italian, and French productions. His distinctive painted style brought dramatic atmosphere and elegance to countless movie campaigns, including celebrated designs for This Gun for Hire (1942), Gilda (1946), The Lady from Shanghai (1948), and From Russia With Love (1963).
France has a long and influential tradition of poster design dating back to the 19th century, and this stunning French Grande format reflects that heritage through its impressive scale, artistic detail, and cinematic presentation.
