POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: Original Australian daybill with a dramatic black, orange and white design. Large orange typography dominates the upper section, while the illustrated action montage depicts a helicopter over rough seas, Anthony Hopkins and Nathalie Delon on a rope ladder, rocky coastal terrain and maritime action below. The artwork strongly emphasises the film’s rugged espionage-adventure theme.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Original Australian daybill for the 1971 Alistair MacLean adventure When Eight Bells Toll, starring a young Anthony Hopkins as British secret-service agent Philip Calvert. Based on MacLean’s novel, the film was conceived as a gritty espionage adventure and was filmed extensively around Scotland. Its combination of early Anthony Hopkins, Alistair MacLean authorship and classic illustrated action artwork gives this Australian daybill appeal across spy, adventure and actor-focused collections.
