Synopsis
Eon Productions' James Bond film series is the longest-running and most financially successful movie franchise in history. When, at the beginning of the 60s, producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli acquired the screen rights to the novels of ageing naval intelligence officer Ian Fleming, even they couldn't have predicted how long their series would run - its hero outliving all three of them, surviving imitators, parodies and even two rival Bond film productions, to emerge into a new century revered as an icon and more popular than ever. From Dr. No in 1962 through to Die Another Day, James Bond's cinematic adventures have covered forty years of film-making and encompassed six lead actors, frequent legal entanglements, dozens of beautiful girls and innumerable changes both in film-making and in the world in which the films were produced and released. Using the format of previous books in the Virgin Film series, this indispensable and unofficial guide discusses each movie in turn, examining how each was a product of its own time, and looking at how each was affected by the behind-the-scenes personnel drafted in to help 007 through his many assignments. Using categories such as Source to Screen, Culture Vulture, Director and Crew and Fashion Victims, it also includes an ongoing total of on-screen deaths, martinis ordered and successful seductions, making it the ultimate guide to the film career of the world's best-loved secret agent.

Synopsis
The Bond films are the longest-running and the most financially successful movie franchise in the history of cinema and have entered popular culture. James Bond's answer to a request for his name, "Bond, James Bond", topped a poll of the greatest film quotes of all time, and if you mention a Martini to anyone old enough to drink one, they're bound to come out with the immortal line "shaken not stirred". From "Dr No" in 1962 through to "Die Another Day" in 2002, this film guide covers the 20 Bond films, 40 years of film-making and five actors in the starring role (six if you count David Niven in Casino Royale). Each film was a product of its time - "Moonraker", for example, was made because of the success of "Star Wars" - and was influenced by whichever director was drafted in to move James Bond through his many assignments. This book is also the story of two eastern European immigrants, Saltzman and Broccoli, who acquired the rights to Ian Fleming's character of James Bond and built an empire out of the sexist spy. The guide includes categories such as source to screen, set peices and gadgets, and ongoing counters of on-screen deaths, martinis ordered and successful seductions.
