Facts about
Some release prints did not show 'James Bond will be back On Her Majesty's Secret Service' at the end of the film's credits. This was because a late change meant filming of that movie due to difficulties in scheduling shooting during winter meant that film was postponed. You Only Live Twice became the next James Bond film. The solution put forward by editor Peter R. Hunt was simply to remove the name of the title from the final credits.
The movie had two major re-releases with two other James Bond films: The first was with From Russia with Love in 1968 and the other was with You Only Live Twice from 1970 until 1972. The latter pairing was billed as "the two biggest Bonds of all."
This was the first James Bond movie to provide two key elements for the series' success. It was the first of Maurice Binder's opening titles sequences created in the form that they would become most famous for. It was also the first to have movie posters which had panoramic adventure-scene artwork. These would become a tradition for the series until Licence to Kill. From GoldenEye onwards, photo montages have become the staple for James Bond movie posters.
