Overview
Overview
Aside from being wildly popular books, James Bond is the longest running film series in the history of cinema. For over six decades, the international spy has the real audiences young and old generation. The goal of this book is to explore the cinematic history of the James Bond series, discuss the high and low points, and also celebrate its incredible achievements throughout its nearly 60 years of existence. From the cars, to the court cases, to the men who have portrayed him, the villains on and off screen who wanted to kill him, and the women who loved him, everyone is fascinated by the real story of James Bond. By breaking down the Bond series in complete, discussing the importance of certain films, and even examining the melodies they're still saying loudly in concert venues around the world... this would be a book for Bond, film and music fans. There has been other Bond books that have been more of a look at this franchise overall, but not one that has broken Bond down by Era and explored everything that Bond got right in trailblazing the genre (and everything it got wrong in regards to cultural and gender responsibilities). Additionally, there's been no book that discusses the story off screen which at times can be just as entertaining as a story that we saw on the silver screen. From cabbie broccoli battling his actors and his fellow producers to money troubles, political events and movements that shifted the Bond series trajectory and more. There's been no series that's last as long and has lasted through as much and our favorite 00. This would be a book that would not only entertain Bond fans, but cinephiles the world around we need to have this book to know about the cinematic history of the longest running film franchise ever.
