James Bond poster fetches fortune at auction

James Bond poster fetches fortune at auction NEW YORK: The original poster artwork for James Bond movie ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ has sold at a London auction for more than $125,000 (£78,000).

The hand-painted piece made more than three times the original estimate of $38,000 (£24,000) after a collector bid $126,800 (£79,250) at the Christie's sale.

The rare poster features a mis-spelling of actress Lana Wood's name and depicts 007 star Sir Sean Connery holding a gun with two Bond girls at his side.

A poster for the 1942 Humphrey Bogart classic Casablanca also went under the hammer, fetching a staggering $48,000 (£30,000).
