About You Only Live Twice
Released in 1967, You Only Live Twice is the fifth film in the James Bond saga and the first to show the face of Blofeld.
Directed by Lewis Gilbert from a screenplay by Roald Dahl, it sends Sean Connery to Japan after the mysterious disappearance of American and Soviet space capsules, against a Cold War backdrop. Bond discovers Ernst Stavro Blofeld, head of SPECTRE, hidden in a secret base carved inside a volcano.
But the image that endures across the decades remains the gigantic SPECTRE volcano lair, one of the most iconic sets of the saga, where the final assault plays out. Our framed Fine Art photo prints celebrate these legendary moments, in black and white or, for some, in colour, for a living room, an office or a home cinema.
