Licence
to Thrill: A Cultural History of the James Bond Films
James Chapman
|
James Chapman expertly
traces the annals of celluloid Bond from its inauguration with
1962´s Dr. No through its progression beyond Ian Fleming´s
spy novels to the action-adventure spectaculars of GoldenEye
and Tomorrow Never Dies. He argues that the enormous popularity
of the series represents more than just the sum total of the
films´ box-office receipts and involves questions of film
culture in a wider sense.
Licence to Thrill chronicles
how Bond, a representative of a British Empire that no longer
existed in his generation, became a symbol of his nation´s might in a Cold War world where
Britain was no longer a primary actor. Chapman describes the
protean nature of Bond villains in a volatile global political
scene -from Soviet scoundrels and Chinese rogues in the 1960s
to a brief flirtation with Latin American drug kingpins in the
1980s and back to the Chinese in the 1990s. The book explores
how the movies struggle with changing societal ethics -notably,
in the evolution in the portrayal of women, showing how Bond´s
encounters with the opposite sex have evolved into trysts with
leading ladies as sexually liberated as Bond himself.

Q
- The Biography of Desmond Llewelyn
Sandy Hernu

This book
is the fascinating, officially authorized biography of actor Desmond
Llewelyn, better known by movie fans around the world as "Q",
James Bond's ill-tempered gadget master. Between 1963 and 1999,
Desmond appeared in eighteen James Bond films and became an indispensable
part of the series' success. He was the only regular cast member
to work with all five James Bond actors: Sean Connery, George Lazenby,
Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. However, there
was much more to Desmond as a man and an actor than his role as "Q".
In this authorized biography, as told to author Sandy Hernu, Desmond
describes his hellish WWII experiences, having been interned in
a German POW camp. He later evolved into a successful character
actor appearing in films as diverse as "Cleopatra" and "Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang". Much of the book, of course, is relegated
to his wonderful anecdotes about the Bond films and his candid
opinions of the people he worked with. The book is filled with
rare, never-before-published family photos as well as superb stills
from the archives of Eon Productions, producers of the James Bond
films. Desmond passed away shortly after completing this book,
but his legacy lives on in it's pages. No James Bond fan will want
to be without this fascinating volume in their collection. Foreword
by Roger Moore; Introduction by Desmond Llewelyn.
