From Russia With Love & Hang 'Em High 1970 Double Bill Quad Poster
A great pairing of Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood for this 1970 Double Bill quad poster for From Russia With Love and Hang ‘Em High. The artwork has been taken from the main quads for both releases by Renato Fratini and Arnaldo Putzu but here as was usual for double bill and re-release quads only two colours have been used to save printing costs.
The same posters were used for Irish cinemas but they were often censored by Irish cinema managers who didn’t want to offend customers, the figure in the neglige to the left of Connery has had clothes added by the cinema manager with black pen but fortunately the belly dancer seems to have had a lucky escape.
