Photographer David Hurn was scheduled to take publicity shots for \'From Russia With Love\' of Sean Connery alongside co-star Daniela Bianchi. However, on arrival at Hurn\'s studio, EON publicist Tom Charlie realized no one had thought to bring 007\'s Walther PPK.
With the understanding it would ultimately be airbrushed out of the poster art, Hurn volunteered that he had a Walther LP-53 air pistol on hand thus accidentally creating some of the most iconic imagery in the history of the franchise.
