Book Vs. Movie: “Goldfinger” The 1959 Ian Fleming Novel Vs the 1964 Sean Connery FilmIan Fleming's Goldfinger (1959) and its 1964 film adaptation featuring Sean Connery present one of James Bond's most iconic villains, but in very different styles. The novel is a gritty Cold War spy thriller, showcasing a vulnerable Bond who relies on his wits rather than gadgets. Goldfinger's scheme centers on a traditional gold heist from Fort Knox, with Pussy Galore leading a lesbian criminal gang, creating a darker tone. In contrast, the film, directed by Guy Hamilton, turns the story into flashy pop entertainment. Goldfinger's plan involves irradiating gold with a dirty bomb, and Pussy is reimagined as a glamorous pilot who falls in love with Bond. Connery's 007 is suave and nearly invincible, complete with a gadget-loaded Aston Martin DB5.Between the novel and the movie, which did the Margos like better? Have a listen to find out! In this episode, the Margos discuss:The life of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery's BondThe differences between the book and movie.The cast includes: Sean Connery (James Bond), Gert Frobe (Auric Goldfinger), Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore), Shirley Eaton (Jill Masterson), Bernard Lee (M), Harold Sakata (Oddjob), Martin Benson (Solo), Tania Mallet (Tilly), and Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny. Clips Featured:“Oddjob”Goldfinger (1964 trailer)“Pussy Galore and her gals”Shirley Bassey 1974 (Royal Albert Hall)“I expect you to do Mr. Bond”Music by John BarryFollow us on the socials!Join our Patreon page “Book Vs.

In this episode of General Witchfinders, we revisit one of the most unsettling and prophetic dramas ever broadcast by the BBC – Survivors (1975), created by Terry Nation, the man behind the Daleks and Blake's 7. Specifically, we're talking about The Fourth Horseman, the chilling first episode of this 1970s British post-apocalyptic classic.

Watch on YouTube I've officially completed my journey through all 25 Eon-produced James Bond films, and now it's time to rank them all from worst to best! From Sean Connery's iconic debut in Dr. No, to Daniel Craig's emotional finale in No Time To Die, I break down my personal rankings of every official 007 film. This video is a companion piece to my Drinks and a Movie Podcast, where I recently finished a full James Bond series—watching all the Eon films for the first time and discussing them in-depth. Along the way, I paired the experience with some classic spirits, including a pour of Old Grand-Dad 16-Year-Old Bourbon, a nod to the Ian Fleming novels, where Bond occasionally sips this lesser-known American whiskey.Whether you're a lifelong Bond fan or new to the franchise, I invite you to join me as I rank all the James Bond movies, share my thoughts on each Bond actor, and reflect on the franchise's evolution over six decades. 

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, JP Rindfleisch, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including stories about influencers, AI, and BookBub. Then, stick around for a chat with Andrew Gulli!Andrew Gulli's The Strand Magazine: The Strand Mystery Magazine is a quarterly which offers the best of both worlds—publishing previously unpublished works by literary masters such as John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway,  Rod Serling,  Louisa May Alcott, Shirley Jackson, Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler , Tennessee Williams, and H.G.Wells . The Strand Magazine also features new works by today's bestselling authors including Alexander McCall Smith, R.L. Stine, Michael Connelly, Faye Kellerman, Craig Johnson, Ruth Ware, Joseph Finder, and Jeffery Deaver, as well as engaging interviews. Our reviews section looks at the latest mystery/thriller offerings, Sherlock Holmes pastiches, and anthologies, in addition to audiobooks and DVDs. The Strand Mystery Magazine has been featured several times in The New York Times, NPR, PBS, USA Today, and the Associated Press.Our current issue features Ian Fleming, Graham Greene, C.J. Box, Denise Mina and John Floyd. We also have an interview with Amor Towles.

Someone you think you can trust, is just, another way to die. On the Lighting The Pipes Podcast, when the hosts review James Bond stories, they have a category for Allies and Adversaries. Depending on the story, they are frequently one and the same. Spy work is all a matter of relationships. It's why networking is a part of the vocabulary. It's why trusting the wrong person can lead to disaster. The Bond stories are full of strong allies who aid Bond on his missions, but sometimes they turn out to be an enemy. Double crossing Bond at the least expected (and most dramatic) moment. The truth is, perfect trust is nearly impossible. There's always a risk in giving others a part of our lives, it's a trade off Bond calculates based on his job, but we typically only assess in the post-mortem. The more deliberate you are in who you trust, the more conscious you can appreciate the value of that trust kept.   Order my pulp treasure hunt novel, One Man's Treasure https://a.co/d/i19YMn7 Order my 1920's Aviator novella, Unwanted Passenger https://a.co/d/5FVQJWU   Follow The Show! https://terrancelayhew.com/suitup/ https://www.instagram.com/suitup.author https://www.facebook.com/tlayhew  

Tựa đề chữ vàng in trên bìa sách toàn một màu đen. Chỉ cần liếc nhìn qua, giới độc giả ghiền truyện trinh thám đều nhận ra ngay bộ sưu tập « Série Noire » của nhà xuất bản Pháp Gallimard. Năm 2025 đánh dấu đúng 80 năm ngày ra đời của tủ sách nổi tiếng Série Noire, mà bạn đọc ở Pháp thường gọi nôm na là « tiểu thuyết đen ».   Tủ sách « Série Noire » ra đời vào mùa hè năm 1945, theo đề xuất của dịch giả Marcel Duhamel. Ngoài đời là bạn thân của nhà văn Jacques Prévert và thi hào Raymond Queneau, ông Duhamel đã thuyết phục nhà xuất bản Gallimard cho ra mắt một bộ sưu tập hoàn toàn mới thời hậu chiến, để giới thiệu với bạn đọc ở Pháp những tiểu thuyết trinh thám tiêu biểu của Anh-Mỹ qua việc dịch các tác giả trứ danh như Peter Cheyney, Raymond Chandler hay Don Tracy …  Mãi đến 3 năm sau (1948), theo sáng kiến của giám đốc điều hành nhà xuất bản Claude Gallimard, bộ sưu tập này mới bắt đầu phát triển mạnh, tăng số lượng bản in cũng như các tựa sách phát hành mỗi năm. Nhờ vào sự hưởng ứng của bạn đọc, tủ truyện « Série Noire » đã thành công nhanh chóng. Hơn một ngàn đầu sách được xuất bản trong 2 thập niên đầu tiên, mỗi năm sách đều bán được hơn cả triệu bản.  Thành công của thể loại văn học này lúc đầu luôn gắn liền với trào lưu phim trinh thám của Mỹ, còn được gọi là « film noir » chủ yếu nói về các vụ án và tội phạm, thế giới băng đảng và xã hội đen. Trong thời hậu chiến (1945-1952) các rạp chiếu phim Pháp chủ yếu khai thác phim trinh thám do Hollywood sản xuất từ những năm trước, nhưng vì đang có chiến tranh, khán giả Pháp chưa có dịp xem.  Kể từ năm 1953 trở đi, làng phim Pháp mới bắt đầu khai thác mạnh mẽ dòng phim này. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI ban tiếng Pháp, nhà phê bình kiêm sử gia Alban Cerisier cho biết, ngay từ những năm 1950, tủ sách « Série Noire » đã gợi hứng cho các đạo diễn Pháp thực hiện nhiều bản phóng tác, đưa các bộ tiểu thuyết đen lên màn ảnh rộng, tạo ra một sự hợp tác chặt chẽ, vẫn còn tồn tại cho đến tận ngày nay : « Đúng vậy, đó là một mối quan hệ tuyệt vời, góp phần làm nên tên tuổi và uy tín của bộ sưu tập Série Noire. Mối quan hệ giữa tủ sách trinh thám và màn ảnh lớn đã tồn tại trong nhiều thập niên qua. Khi mới được thành lập, tủ sách này chủ yếu quảng bá các tiểu thuyết “đen” và dòng phim trinh thám theo kiểu Mỹ. Trong giai đoạn này, phải kể đến phim The Maltese Falcon (Chim ưng Malta) với Humphrey Bogart trong vai chính, This gun for hire (Kẻ giết mướn) với Alan Ladd và Veronica Lake. Những thập niên sau đó, có The Unseen (Sát thủ giấu mặt) và nhất là The Big Sleep (Giấc ngủ ngàn thu), dựa theo tiểu thuyết của nhà văn Raymond Chandler qua hai phiên bản, với Humphrey Bogart, cũng như Robert Mitchum trong vai chính.  Thời hậu chiến, làng phim Pháp chủ yếu khai thác phim Mỹ. Năm 1953 đánh dấu một cột mốc quan trọng, khi điện ảnh Pháp trở nên tự lập hơn, bắt đầu chuyển thể các bộ tiểu thuyết thành phim trinh thám. Đó là trường hợp của bộ phim "Touchez pas au grisbi" (tạm dịch Coi chừng chết … vì tiền) của đạo diễn Pháp Jacques Becker. Đây là phiên bản điện ảnh của quyển tiểu thuyết đen cùng tên của Albert Simonin. Bộ phim đánh dấu ngày trở lại của Jean Gabin sau nhiều năm vắng bóng và sự xuất hiện lần đầu tiên của Lino Ventura trên màn ảnh lớn. Trong mắt giới phê bình, "Touchez pas au grisbi” là tác phẩm khởi đầu cho trào lưu quay các bộ phim noir theo kiểu Pháp, hầu hết các tên tuổi lớn sau này đều tham gia như Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Paul Belmondo hay Alain Delon … »  Nhìn lại tủ truyện « Série Noire », trong số cả chục ngàn quyển tiểu thuyết được phát hành, đã có hơn 500 đầu sách đã được chuyển thể lên màn ảnh. Có thể nói là mỗi thập niên đều có những bộ phim ăn khách, phóng tác từ tiểu thuyết trinh thám. Theo sử gia Alban Cerisier, những thập niên sau 1950, đã cho ra đời nhiều tác phẩm quan trọng của những tên tuổi hàng đầu trong làng điện ảnh :  « Kể từ sau những năm 1950, dòng phim trinh thám hình sự đã có một số thay đổi về mặt đề tài để phán ánh những biến chuyển xã hội, nội dung phim cũng mang nhiều tính thời sự hơn. Một trong những gương mặt quan trọng trong giai đoạn này chính là ngôi sao màn bạc Pháp Alain Delon. Ông quan tâm nhiều đến thể loại hình sự cũng như dòng phim đen. Trong vai trò của một nhà sản xuất (nhiều hơn là diễn viên), Alain Delon đã giúp phổ biến thêm nhiều quyển tiểu thuyết qua phim ảnh. Trong giai đoạn này có thể nhắc đến “Mort d'un pourri” (Cái chết của một kẻ hám lợi), tiểu thuyết của Raf Vallet từng được Georges Lautner chuyển thể thành phim trinh thám với Alain Delon trong vai chính.  Thật ra, kể từ những năm 1965 trở đi, dòng phim noir không còn đơn thuần nói về thế giới của những kẻ lừa đảo, những tên côn đồ đâm thuê chém mướn … Những hình tượng ấy dần dần những chỗ lại cho những nhân vật phức tạp hơn về mặt tâm lý, qua tài viết kịch bản và dựng phim của làn sóng đạo diễn với phong cách mới như Truffaut, Godard, hay Melville. Đạo diễn François Truffaut đã tặng cho Jeanne Moreau một vai diễn để đời khi chuyển thể tiểu thuyết “The Bride wore black” (Áo tang ngày cưới) của William Irish, kể lại kế hoạch trả thù của một cô dâu, sau khi chứng kiến cảnh chồng mình bị sát hại ngay trong đám cưới.  Đạo diễn Melville tặng cho Jean Paul Belmondo một vai diễn xuất sắc trong phim "Le Doulos". Trong tiếng lóng, từ này hiểu theo nghĩa đen là cái mũ phớt, còn hiểu theo nghĩa bóng là kẻ chỉ điểm. Sự xuất hiện của Melville, Lautner, hay Truffaut (rất ngưỡng mộ đạo diễn Hitchcock) đã mang đến một luồng sinh khí mới cho thể loại phim trình thám, khi họ phản ánh các chủ đề mang tính thời sự xã hội, đi sâu hơn vào các đề tài tham nhũng, khi mọi giới, nhất là những người có quyền, càng dễ bị đồng tiền chi phối ».  Sau các đề tài chính trị xã hội, tủ truyện Série Noire cũng từng gặt hái khá nhiều thành công khi khai thác mạch truyện gián điệp. Trong một thời gian dài, nhà xuất bản Gallimard được quyền khai thác tủ sách James Bond (sau này mới đến phiên nhà xuất bản Robert Laffon), có lẽ cũng vì thế nhiều đầu sách của điệp viên 007 đã được đăng trong bộ sưu tập tiểu thuyết đen Série Noire. Nhà phê bình Alvan Cerisier giải thích về các trào lưu làm phim : « Các tác giả cũng như dịch giả của tủ truyện Série Noire sống với thời đại của họ. Dĩ nhiên là bộ truyện của Ian Fleming đã có nhiều bản phóng tác sang tiếng Pháp. Về mặt phiên bản điện ảnh, có hai tựa phim James Bond mà các bạn đọc tiếng Pháp tìm thấy trong tủ sách Série Noire. Đó là bộ phim « Diamonds are forever » (Điệp vụ kim cương) với Sean Connery, và sau đó là « Moonraker » (Căn cứ không gian) với Roger Moore. Có thể nói là thành công của James Bond đánh dấu thời kỳ huy hoàng của tiểu thuyết cũng như phim gián điệp. Ngoài ra, phim ảnh có tác động tích cực trong việc phổ biến sách truyện. Tính trung bình, một quyển tiểu thuyết trinh thám được xem là rất ăn khách khi bán được khoảng 100.000 bản. Đến khi được chuyển thể lên màn ảnh lớn, bộ phim có khả năng thu hút hàng triệu lượt người xem và trong số này sẽ có nhiều khán giả tìm đọc tiểu thuyết gốc. Mối quan hệ chặt chẽ ấy vẫn tồn tại cho đến ngày nay.  Việc chuyển thể sách thành kịch bản phim, nhiều hay ít, là tùy theo nhu cầu, chứ chưa bao giờ dừng lại. Chẳng hạn như phim « Zulu » với Orlando Bloom và Forest Whitaker trong vai chính, dựa theo tiểu thuyết của Caryl Férey. Đạo diễn Guillermo del Toro từng thử sức với phim trinh thám khi chuyển thể lên màn ảnh quyển tiểu thuyết đen « Nightmare Alley » (Con hẻm ác mộng) với Bradley Cooper trong vai chính. Ngoài ra, còn phải kể đến dòng truyện trinh thám đến từ vùng đất lạnh như trường hợp của nhà văn người Na Uy JoNesbo từng thành công với « The Snowman » (Sát nhân Người tuyết) với Michael Fassbender. Trong số các nhân vật nổi tiếng thích đọc Série Noire tại Pháp, có các nhà văn Jacques Prévert, Jean Giono, hay nghệ sĩ điêu khắc Giacometti. Có thể nói là chừng nào vẫn còn nhiều bạn đọc ghiền tiểu thuyết trinh thám, thì dòng phim hồi hộp hình sự vẫn còn nhiều kịch bản hay để dựng thành phim chiếu rạp cũng như phim truyền hình ».

The Ian Fleming Foundation has a new president and vice president.

In this week's episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd crack open the covers of some of their favorite books that eventually made their way to the big screen. While the hosts inevitably touch on the films these books inspired, the heart of the conversation stays grounded in the written word—the themes, characters, and emotional impact these stories had when first encountered in print.Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd share personal reflections on what made each book resonate with them, offering insights on how the source material often dives deeper than its cinematic counterpart. From the cold elegance of Casino Royale by Ian Fleming to the raw introspection of Jarhead by Anthony Swofford, and from the spy thriller intensity of The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum to the timeless satire and romance of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, this episode covers a broad literary landscape.The conversation also spans cult classics and controversial adaptations, such as Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorpe—the basis for Die Hard—and American Hero by Larry Beinhart, the novel that inspired Wag the Dog. Add to that the gothic allure of Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice, the conspiracy-laced mystery of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, the psychological depth of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, and the sweeping Southern drama of Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, and you have an episode that's both literary and cinematic in scope.Whether you're a bookworm, a film buff, or both, Episode 416 invites you to revisit the books that first sparked your imagination—and perhaps gave you a new way to look at their movie counterparts.Tune in, turn the page, and talk nerdy with us.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Duško Popov, né en 1912 en Serbie, est un personnage aussi réel que fascinant. Avocat de formation, polyglotte, séducteur invétéré, amateur de voitures de luxe et de casinos, il fut surtout un espion double, voire triple, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. C'est lui qui aurait inspiré à Ian Fleming le célèbre personnage de James Bond.Popov est recruté dès 1940 par les services secrets allemands, l'Abwehr. Mais il accepte cette mission dans le but de servir les Alliés. Rapidement, le MI6 britannique le repère et l'enrôle comme agent double. Son nom de code : "Tricycle", parce qu'il gérait plusieurs sources… ou, selon la légende, pour sa vie amoureuse à trois.Là où Popov devient un personnage-clé de l'Histoire, c'est qu'il réussit à duper les nazis pendant toute la guerre. Il leur transmet de fausses informations préparées par les Britanniques, jouant un rôle essentiel dans les opérations de désinformation précédant notamment le Débarquement.Mais Popov n'était pas un simple bureaucrate de l'ombre. Il menait une vie digne d'un roman d'espionnage : séjours dans les plus grands hôtels, jeux de baccarat à Deauville ou Lisbonne, relations avec des femmes célèbres, dont, dit-on, l'actrice Simone Simon. C'est lors d'une de ces soirées à l'hôtel Casino Estoril, au Portugal, en 1941, qu'il attire l'attention de Ian Fleming, alors jeune officier du renseignement britannique. Popov mise l'équivalent de 40 000 dollars sur une seule main de baccarat, pour humilier un agent nazi — un coup de bluff spectaculaire qui impressionne profondément Fleming. Ce moment précis aurait inspiré la scène culte de "Casino Royale", premier roman de James Bond.Autre fait marquant : en 1941, Duško Popov informe le FBI qu'une attaque japonaise contre les États-Unis se prépare, visant potentiellement Pearl Harbor. Mais J. Edgar Hoover, directeur du FBI, n'aime pas les méthodes de Popov, qu'il trouve trop libertines… et ne donne pas suite à l'alerte.Après la guerre, Popov quitte le monde de l'espionnage. Il publie ses mémoires en 1974, intitulées Spy/Counterspy, où il raconte ses missions, son double jeu et ses rencontres avec les plus hautes sphères des services secrets.En résumé, Duško Popov est un espion aussi séduisant qu'efficace, dont la vie a directement inspiré Ian Fleming pour créer James Bond : un homme de charme, de risque, de mystère — mais surtout, un maître dans l'art de tromper son monde.

This week, Kate has the origin story of John Henry Billings who learned his trade as a builder in England, then eventually ending up in Haliburton Countyaround the turn of the 1800's. Plus, Paul has the tale of Toronto's Casa Loma castle built in the 1860's. During WW2 the basement and a secret 800 foot tunnel were turned into a wartime facility called Station "M" (for magic) for the production of equipment to circumvent the Nazi U-Boat threat...then it evolved into a factory for the invention and production of spy gadgets that became an inspiration for Ian Fleming's Station "Q" in his James Bond novels and movies. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com

One of the most iconic voices in sport, indeed one of the most iconic voices in the history of radio, Henry Blofeld shares his reflections on a career behind the mic during which he bore witness to some of the greatest feats in cricketing history. Now 85 and retired from the BBC's Test Match Special commentary team, he recalls the day the legendary John Arlott described the game's first streaker at Lord's (complete with impressions of Arlott and Brian Johnston), remembers some of his favourite players and their top innings, gives his verdict on Ben Stokes and Bazball, and makes his predictions for England's series against India and this winter's Ashes in Australia. Congratulating the multi-racial South African side recently crowned Test champions, Blowers extols the unrivalled virtues of the longest form of the game, and calls for matches to remain five day affairs. With his idiosyncratic charm and good humour, the Old Etonian, whose surname was the inspiration behind one of Ian Fleming's most notorious Bond villains, and who once almost played cricket for England himself by mistake, shares stories and offers his analysis on the sport he loves. 

Bogus sex parties, fake corpses, exploding tin cans and belligerent pigs. If you thought that James Bond's fictional escapades were outrageous, then the real-life experiences of his creator, Ian Fleming, are arguably even more extraordinary. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Edward Abel Smith reveals how Fleming's work as a wartime intelligence officer inspired the plotlines in his world-famous spy novels.

Walter Owen – kun kaldet W.O. – var den yngste af ni børn. Derfor protesterede hans velhavende forældre ikke, da han som 16-årig droppede ud af skolen og gik i lære som fyrbøder på et damplokomotiv.Han finder dog selv ud af, at der ikke er megen karriere i at skovle kul og læser følgelig lidt til ingeniør på King's College i London (uden dog at få eksamen). Men som alle raske drenge, født med mønt på lommen, kører han motorløb og lærer sig et-og-andet om motorer.Det ender med stempler i aluminium, hastighedsrekorder, noget med lettere flymotorer og et ret betydeligt opfinderlegat, der straks, i 1919 efter Første Verdenskrig, omsættes i etableringen af en bilfabrik.Bentley frembringer herefter en række meget, meget hurtige lastvogne – det var i alle fald Ettore Bugattis karakteristik af designet – og vinder Le Mans adskillelige gange mellem 1924 og 1930. Og Bentley bliver så meget indbegrebet af en Gentleman's car, at Ian Fleming udstyrer James Bond med en Battleship Grey Blower Bentley.Efter at have ædt sig gennem tre formuer, smider W.O & Co. håndklædet i ringen i 1931 (med dagens begreber efter en dekade med en passende høj burn-rate). Bentley opsluges af Rolls Royce og W.O kører sig ud på et sidespor ved at fortælle sin nye chef, Henry Royce, hvordan skabet skal stå. W.O. forlader endelig fabrikken i 1935 og har ikke officielt noget med mærket at gøre sidenhen.Dine værter er som altid den næsten alvidende Stefan Kaas, og hans let aldrende ven, forfatter og ingenør, Adam Estrup.Du kan få mange begavede ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten, der lærer dig at tale med når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda og nu altså også den bittersøde fortælling om en utvivlsomt meget teknisk begavet mand.

Judy Walker of the Mecklenburg Audubon Society shares how people have recently been coming into the activity of bird watching.  She adds to Carolina Outdoor host, Bill Bartee's list of famed people with Amy Tan, author of the Backyard Bird Chronicles & the character James Bond was named for a friend of Ian Fleming. Backyard watching is how many people begin in the activity of birdwatching.  There is nothing that should hold someone back, except time, in becoming a birder.  Birdwatching is a "gateway to the outdoors."

In this episode, Dan and Tom bring in a special guest.  Join us as Raymond Benson, Bond author, talks his new book on Felix Leiter. Novels are being written about some of the non-James Bond characters from the Ian Fleming James Bond novels.  To that end, Raymond Benson, who was the first American James Bond continuation author, is getting set to release his latest book, “The Hook and the Eye”. This is a book about Felix Leiter after his shark attack.  The book will be released initially as an e-book serial starting on May 27, 2025, with a paper book release in October. This sounds like a fun book and having the Felix Leiter character getting a story of his own sounds very intriguing! Some of the topics we discuss with Raymond include: ·         Raymond's background and how he got started with all of his James Bond work ·         How the James Bond literary world has evolved ·         Why Raymond chose to do a book on Felix Leiter ·         How Felix Leiter is different in the Ian Fleming novels compared to the Eon Productions movies ·         How you will be able to get the book, “The Hook and the Eye” ·         And More … Tell us what you think about our discussion as Raymond Benson, Bond author, talks his new book on Felix Leiter. So, take a listen and let us know what you think.  Have you previously heard of that Raymond was writing this book?  Are you excited to get a novel focused on Felix Leiter?

A chaotic, shambolic and critically panned parody, the first on-screen incarnation of Ian Fleming's novel ‘Casino Royale' received its London premiere on 12th April, 1967 - with final edits still being made in the projection room. Nonetheless, it went on to take an extraordinary $40 million at the box office.  Hardnut hero James Bond's adventures had become a swinging Sixties sex comedy starring Peter Sellers, thanks to Fleming's disasterous decision to sell the movie rights to actor Gregory Ratoff for a song long before Bond was known all around the world thanks to the highly succesful film versions of his later books ‘Dr No' and ‘From Russia With Love'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how producer Charles K Feldman assembled such an impressive cast list for his 007 ensemble, including Orson Welles, Ronnie Corbett and Ursula Andress; explain how an on-set visit by Princess Margaret prompted an enormous clash of egos; and ponder why ‘the Spice World of the Sixties' became such a box office hit…  Further Reading: • ‘Casino Royale movie review & film summary' (Roger Ebert, 1967): https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/casino-royale-1967 • ‘The Casino Royale calamity: how Peter Sellers turned Bond into a laughing stock' (Daily Telegraph, 2021): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/casino-royale-calamity-peter-sellers-turned-bond-laughing-stock/ • ‘Casino Royale: Official Trailer' (MGM, 1967): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onhWav2DejM Love the show?

Welcome back to the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this seventh episode of my James Bond series, I'm diving into Diamonds Are Forever (1971), which marks Sean Connery's return as Bond after a break from the role. This film, while classic in its own right, is also notable for its place in the Bond franchise's continuity—or lack thereof. Diamonds Are Forever, along with On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice, deviates from the correct order of Ian Fleming's novels. The correct sequence is Thunderball, followed by On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and then You Only Live Twice. This shift is significant because it disrupts the emotional and narrative through-line, especially when it comes to Bond's relationship with Tracy and the aftermath of her death, which was central to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. By skipping over the emotional weight that should have followed, Diamonds Are Forever somewhat lightens the thematic stakes of Bond's character arc, leaning into a more campy, adventurous tone instead of the emotional depth seen in Fleming's books.To pair with this film, I'm sipping on Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Sour Mash Bourbon, crafted from Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #2. Elmer T. Lee, a legendary figure in the bourbon world. He was became a master distiller at Buffalo Trace and was instrumental in the creation of Blanton's Bourbon. His single barrel sour mash bourbon is known for its smooth, rich profile, making it the perfect companion for a Bond film that balances high stakes with a lighter, more fun tone. Join me as I discuss how Diamonds Are Forever shifts the tone of the Bond saga, why the change in the novel order matters thematically, and why Elmer T. Lee's bourbon is an ideal drink to accompany this spirited, yet somewhat disjointed, chapter in Bond's story.

Norte de Portugal, 1 de marzo de 1942. Antonio Roquete, uno de los principales torturadores de la dictadura de António de Oliveira Salazar, dirige una redada contra opositores al régimen. Entre ellos se cuenta un viejo conocido suyo. Porque Roquete, antes que esbirro del Estado Novo, ha sido jugador. Y quien queda detenido, expuesto a abusos y encerrado en un campo de concentración en Cabo Verde no es otro que Cândido, su antiguo entrenador. Nacido cerca de la frontera con Badajoz, Cândido de Oliveira lo ha sido todo en el el fútbol portugués: capitán en el debut histórico de la selección, cronista, técnico campeón de liga e incluso seleccionador. Pero además es un ciudadano comprometido con la democracia en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sus contactos con el fútbol inglés le sirven para entrar como agente del espionaje británico a las órdenes de Ian Fleming. Esas noches de cócteles, póker y enigmas en el Casino de Estoril le servirán a Fleming para construir un personaje de ficción llamado Bond, James Bond. Miguel Lourenço Pereira, periodista y escritor portugués, nos guía por las rendijas biográficas de Cândido de Oliveira, una de las figuras más apasionantes del fútbol europeo en uno de los momentos más tenebrosos de la historia.

They are the titans of the spy novel, who have elevated thrillers to the level of literary fiction. Much imitated, much adapted by the big and small screens, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré have painted our picture of post-war espionage: Fleming through the dashing figure of James Bond, with his lush locations and Martinis as icy as his heart; Le Carré through his damning portrait of the British secret service drawn from his own time in MI5 and MI6. But which of the two novelists is the greater? In this thrilling contest, Fleming's case was made by Anthony Horowitz, creator of the bestselling Alex Rider spy novels and author of the official Bond continuation novel Trigger Mortis. Championing Le Carré – whose memoir about his life as a former spy currently sits in the bestseller lists – was David Farr, Emmy-nominated screenwriter of the BBC's adaptation of The Night Manager. Actors Lesley Manville, Simon Callow, Matthew Lewis and Alex Macqueen joined us to bring both authors' works to life along with our host, author and critic Erica Wagner. ----  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

In this Brush Pass episode of Brush Pass, Le Carre Cast and Barbican Station podcast host Jeff Quest, gives us the lowdown on two spy-related theatrical productions: 'Operation Mincemeat' and 'Dakar 2000'. Operation Mincemeat on Broadway John Golden Theatre   252 W. 45th St., New York, NY The stunning true story of a scheme every bit as dicey, daring, and ridiculous as opening a new musical on Broadway! The best-reviewed show in West End history is now on Broadway! 74 ★★★★★ Reviews and Counting! (which, according to our calculations, adds up to 370 stars) SYNOPSIS: It's 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they've got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII. SCHEDULE: March 25–30: Tuesday @7pm, Wednesday @2pm and 7:30pm, Thursday @7pm, Friday @7:30pm, Saturday @2pm and 7:30pm, Sunday @2pm Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission Dakar 2000 In Senegal on the eve of Y2K, an idealistic Peace Corps volunteer survives a mysterious car accident. An imposing State Department operative immediately takes command of the situation and his safety. Though they couldn't be more different, they form an unlikely relationship. But when it becomes clear that they both have secrets, the volunteer is roped into a darker side of public service – one he can't come back from. Unpredictable at every turn, this world-premiere thriller was commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club. Written by Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo; King James at MTC) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone and Poor Yella Rednecks at MTC).   Have you watched Operation Mincemeat and/or Dakar 2000?

A feeling of authenticity is what really brought 007 to life and the Broccoli family brought it to the screen. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [No Bull RV Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young with you, alongside Stephen Semple. We're talking about famous brands. This is, I guess it's a brand, sure. It's Bond, James Bond we're going to talk about. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: It's not a consumer product. Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: It's one of those things where there's a story and it fits the zeitgeist of marketing in the popular, I don't even know what I'm trying ... Save me, Stephen. What am I trying to say? Stephen Semple: Well, I look at it this way. How is it not a brand? Dave Young: Oh, it's a brand. Stephen Semple: The moment I say Bond. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Shaken not stirred. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: We all know who it is. Dave Young: Evil geniuses. Stephen Semple: The first movie came out in 1962. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And has generated billions and billions of dollars, both in a Hollywood, and spinoffs, and product placements. We all know about Aston Martin DB-whatevers because of Bond. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: To me, how is this not a brand? Dave Young: It's definitely a brand. I guess I'm thinking that most of what we've done have been consumer-facing products. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: Bond definitely is, in that selling seats to movies. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: For sure, that's consumer-focused. I'm with you. I'm all for talking about Bond. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: We just have to think differently, which I think like an evil genius. Stephen Semple: Well, the other part is it was the world's first blockbuster franchise. It's estimated that it's done seven billion in revenues. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Big, big, big, big, big, big bucks. Dave Young: We're always wondering, even when there's no Bond movie out, we're wondering who's the next Bond going to be? Stephen Semple: Who's the next Bond? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Who's the next Bond? Which is the controversy right now today. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: That we're going to come back and talk a little bit about. One of the funniest things though, when I was researching this, one of the funniest things is how Ian Fleming ... Ian Fleming created the Bond character and wrote the James Bond books, of which, what is it, the original dozen movies or so were all based upon the books. But here's the interesting thing, how he came up with the name James Bond. He's sitting writing, and he looks up at this book, The Birds of the West Indies because he's living in Jamaica, and it's written by James Bond. He goes, "That's a really cool name. That's what I'm going to name my spy." Dave Young: I like that, yeah. People that have single-syllable names always roll off the tongue. Stephen Semple: Yeah. I'm not going to go into a lot of the history. We're going to talk about it a little bit. I want to talk about something different, and it's going to seem weird. Because part of the reason why I believe James Bond, the Bond franchise and the Bond movies, have become so big and so successful is there's actually a degree of authenticity in all of them.

Send us a textWell, that's a wrap on the 97th Academy Awards for 2025 -- and boy did my predictions from the previous episode humble me!Tune in to hear what I got wrong and why -- and what surprised this year more than previous years. Also discussed -- Letterboxd reviews for Netflix's short, political series ZERO DAY, starring Robert De Niro, and Osgood Perkins' latest horror film currently in cinemas THE MONKEY.I also bid -- perhaps for good -- farewell after more than 40 years of love to the James Bond franchise as it's finally been wrested from the hands of the Broccoli family with  Amazon's latest coup.What a shame. Now, the James Bond franchise will no longer go forward the way Ian Fleming, Harry Saltzman, Albert R. Broccoli and the Broccoli children Michael G. Wilson and Barbara never intended -- with decisions to be made via committee as the IP of James Bond becomes commodified. It will never be the same. Thank you for listening!

What if there were no gold in Fort Knox?

British historian Helen Fry joins Rhiannon Neads for the first installment of a two-part dive into one of the most crucial, but little-known intelligence forces of the Second World War - MI9. Charged with facilitating the escape of Allied POWs, MI9 employed various ingenious tactics - including, but not limited to, a chocolate gun. Yes, really. You'll meet the characters who made this organisation tick, from daring one-armed escapees to the inspiration for Ian Fleming's Q Branch. From SPYSCAPE, the HQ of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producer: Joe Foley. Produced by Max Bower. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lucy Fleming and Simon Williams give Rosebud a truly romantic Valentine's treat today, as they read the wartime letters of Lucy's parents: Celia Johnson, the great actress and star of Brief Encounter, and Peter Fleming, writer and older brother of Ian Fleming. The letters you hear in this episode were written from 1940 until VE Day, while Peter was away in Burma and India, working for Lord Wavell, and Celia was at home looking after their young son and becoming known as a film actress. In 1945 she plays the lead in Brief Encounter, one of the greatest British films ever made. These letters are so tender and evocative, and transport you to another time - one of bravery, decency and self-deprecation. Lucy and Simon are themselves married, and have been together for 40 years, and are both successful actors - Archers fans will, in particular, be very familiar with their voices! They talk to Gyles about their first memories, how they met, and tell Gyles the secret to a long and happy marriage. Lucy and Simon read these letters live on stage in their brilliant show, Posting Letters to the Moon, which is touring the UK now - tickets are available at https://www.postingletterstothemoon.com/tickets.
