Though as things always descend in to chatting about old Bond films in the latest Bond film to have a thread to discus these without spoiling the recent film thread.
Anyway to kick of with I been reading and with only a few pages to go a thoroughly enjoyable book Bond on Bond by Roger Moore.
Not only covering his tenure as Bond but covering from Sean up to all but Craig's Skyfall. Hes allso done a lot of research as well.
Having sections on all different things like the Villain, Girls, Cars, Inventions, Locations, Wardrobe ((including the tailors (who I've noted down for if and when I win the lottery(ah well at least I have Omega and Seiko watches))). And off course the different Bonds + other stuff.
Some titbits(as in information) from the book.
Richard Kiel was asked to do the scene in Egypt where he leads Bond and Anya, and was asked to go on top of the ruins and it turns out Richard was afraid of heights so much so he even said he did not like being so tall.
Just before Live and Let Die, Bernard's Lee wife Gladys tragically died in a house fire and they thought Bernard would not make the filming so they asked Kenneth More if he would take over a to which he said on the condition his fee went to Bernard.Although Bernard did make it to the filming of the film.
On on location he was in a boat and told what every he did if he fell in the water not to drink any water, he did fall in mouth fully shut but unfortunately opened his eyes and saw what the local undertakers did with the dead body's.
