For the theatrical release in Denmark of the 5th EON-produced James Bond film, "Agent 007 - du lever kun to gange" (You Only Live Twice), in December 1967, the local distributor United Artists produced this release poster. The poster was later reissued with blue spot colour instead of the metallic sheen.
Artwork by Frank McCarthy.
● Danish Modern design by Bodil Kjær(born 1932) made its first Bond appearence in "From Russia With Love" (EON 1963) in several sequences showing Ernst Stavro Blofeld sitting behind Kjær's iconic Office Desk from 1959.
In "You Only Live Twice" (EON 1967) Bodil Kjær's free-standing wood and aluminum table reappears several times. In the film's teaser sequence, delegates from the three superpowers USA, USSR and United Kingdom are each seated behind Office Desks.
Time code (Blu-ray): 03:56-05:02
In 1989 Warner Home Video issued all of the James Bond 007 films (except the Columbia-produced "Casino Royale" from 1967) on retail VHS through local distributor Metronome Video. The Bond films had not previously been available for sale in Denmark.
This initial retail series had specially designed cover art with raster graphics on a metallic grey background which was obviously meant to resemble Maurice Binder's famous gunbarrel design.
The fourth cassette in the series was "You Only Live Twice" (1967):

In 1983 Warner Home Video began releasing the James Bond 007 films on rental video (VHS) in Danmark through local distributor Metronome Video A/S.
The VHS cover below is for the first Danish rental of "You Only Live Twice" (EON 1967) released in 1986. The front cover is adapted from Frank McCarthy's artwork for the international theatrical campaign.
The back cover blurb erroneously names "From Russia with Love" (EON 1963) as the previous film in the series and claims an actor called "Ernest Stavre" to be the voice of Blofeld.
