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.

JAMES BOND IS HOT ON THE TRAIL OF TWO STOLEN ATOM BOMBS Upon M's
insistence, James Bond takes a two-week respite in a secluded
natural health spa. But amid the bland teas and tasteless yogurts
Bond stumbles onto the trail of a lethal man with ties to a new
secret organization called SPECTRE. When SPECTRE hijacks two
A-bombs, a frantic global search for the weapons ensues, and M's
hunch that the plane containing the bombs will make a clean drop
into the ocean sends Bond to the Bahamas to investigate. On the
island paradise, 007 finds a wealthy pleasure seeker's treasure
hunt and meets Domino Vitali, the gorgeous mistress of Emilio
Largo, otherwise known as SPECTRE's Number 1. But as powerful as he
is, Emilio works for someone else: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, a peculiar
man with a deadly creative mind.
JAMES BOND MUST STOP A GOLD-OBSESSED MILLIONAIRE AND THE HEIST OF
THE CENTURY Auric Goldfinger is the richest man in England―though
his wealth can't be found in banks. He's been hoarding vast
stockpiles of his namesake metal, and it has attracted the
suspicion of Bond's superiors at MI6. Sent to investigate, Bond
uncovers an ingenious gold-smuggling scheme, as well as
Goldfinger's most daring caper yet: Operation Grand Slam, a heist
so audacious it could bring down the world economy and put the fate
of the West in the hands of SMERSH. Only 007 can stop the enigmatic
millionaire and his murderous mania for gold.
James Bond returns to action in six thrilling adventures, starting
with 007's encounter with the titular Auric Goldfinger, the man
with the Midas touch. Also included are Risico, From A View To A
Kill, For Your Eyes Only, TheMan With The Golden Gun and The Living
Daylights, each of which has been painstakingly restored to create
the highest quality reproduction available.
