Fleming based Bond's exploits on knowledge he obtained while working with British naval intelligence during WWII. Nine years later, the first Bond film adaptation, DR. NO (based on the sixth Bond novel), appeared. Introducing Sean Connery as the ultra-suave secret agent, the film became an instant international success, setting a new standard for cinematic action, production design, and high-tech gadgetry. After forty years, five actors have portrayed Bond--Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, and George Lazenby--and the series has adapted with the times, with the action getting faster and the dialogue both racier and wittier. MGM's JAMES BOND COLLECTION Vol. 1 includes seven titles, featuring four of the five different Bonds (Lazenby who appeared only in 1969's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, is not represented). The Connery years are covered by DR. NO (1962) and GOLDFINGER (1964). Moore, who appeared in the series during the '70s and '80s, is represented by THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974) and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977). Dalton, who portrayed Bond twice, appears here in LICENCE TO KILL (1989), and Brosnan's Bond appears in GOLDENEYE (1995) and TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997). The discs come encased in a handsome cardboard slip sleeve, with each individual title loaded with audio commentaries, featurettes, and other assorted extras. [More]
