Documentary that sets out to tell the story behind the making of the
James Bond films. When American producers Harry Saltzman and Albert
Broccoli acquired the rights to adapt Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' novels
for the big screen they couldn't have dreamt of the success they would
find. However, as the franchise became a licence to print money
conflict inevitably emerged, causing Saltzman and Broccoli to fall out
with their lead actor, Sean Connery, then each other.
Despite the increasingly fraught drama behind the scenes, the on-screen
drama of the Bond films has continued to draw audiences to the cinema
50 years after the release of the first film, 'Dr No' (1962). Among the
Bond luminaries to contribute to the documentary are George Lazenby,
Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

Director Karel Reisz's adaptation of Alan Sillitoe's novel about a
hard-living factory worker and the married woman he seduces. Arthur
Seaton (Albert Finney) is a young man filled with a rage perhaps
even he doesn't fully understand. Working in the tough environment
of a Nottingham factory, he compensates for the drudgery and
discipline of his weekday life with weekends spent drinking and
womanising. His affair with a fellow factory worker's wife, Brenda
(Rachel Roberts), seems especially ill-advised - particularly when
Brenda informs him that she is pregnant with his child. With
abortion illegal at the time, Arthur and Brenda face a difficult
dilemma. Will Arthur face up to the kind of domestic
responsibilities he openly scorns in his own parents, or run harder
than ever?
