Happy Anniversary Mr. Bond.
This documentary focuses on the overall relationship of bringing Bond from the book to the big-screen and the turbulent ride that franchise has taken and endured over the last 50 years.
The movie itself focuses on the behind the scenes of Fleming's life and how he came to know Saltzman and Broccoli and their desire to bring their favorite literary hero to the silver screen.
50 years in 90 minutes, so there is a lot to gloss over, but the majority of the triumphs and downfalls that the series has endured are touched on.
Just about everyone who is still around is interviewed for some portion or another. Notably absent is Connery, however they use archival footage of his comments so you don't miss out too much. Otherwise, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig are all interviewed with their desire and trepidation of following in Connery (and then each preceding Bond!) to take over the franchise.
It's well worth the viewing, especially if you are a fan, hardcore or casual, of the 007 franchise.
Looking forward to the next 50 years!
Available for streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime as of this writing.
