Original 1971 - When Eight Bells Toll/Puppet on a Chain - UK Quad Double Bill Poster

Original Alistair MacLean Double Bill UK Quad Poster

When Eight Bells Toll (1971) / Puppet on a Chain (1971)

A superb action-packed British double bill poster bringing together two of the most exciting screen adaptations of bestselling thrillers by Alistair MacLean. Issued for UK cinema exhibition, this striking quad combines two cult espionage adventures in one explosive piece of vintage movie poster artwork.

The left-hand panel showcases When Eight Bells Toll, starring a young Anthony Hopkins in one of his earliest leading roles. Packed with helicopter chases, gun battles and maritime intrigue, the film remains one of the finest British action thrillers of the early 1970s.

The right-hand panel features Puppet on a Chain, MacLean's gripping Amsterdam-set thriller starring Sven-Bertil Taube. Famous for its spectacular speedboat chase through Amsterdam's canals, the film has become a cult favourite among fans of classic espionage cinema.

The Tom Chantrell artwork is pure 1970s adventure-poster magic — blazing explosions, daring escapes, speedboats, helicopters and armed heroes in peril. Everything that made Alistair MacLean adaptations box-office favourites is captured in one spectacular design.
