PROGRAMME - James Bond Digital Cinema Presentations |

Goldfinger
To many, the quintessential Bond film and a brilliant third entry in the
series. Here Bond gets his Aston Martin, spars with two statuesque British
beauties (Honor Blackman and Shirley Eaton) and pits his wits against a
memorable villain, Auric Goldfinger. Add the first Shirley Bassey theme
song and some exciting action sequences and the result is an explosive
cocktail.
UK 1964. Dir Guy Hamilton. With Sean Connery, Honor Blackman, Gert Fröbe.
109min. PG.

Thunderball
Kevin McClory's involvement as co-producer finally allowed EON to bring
Thunderball to the screen. While recuperating at a health farm, Bond
uncovers a SPECTRE plot to steal nuclear bombs. When the plan succeeds,
Bond travels to the Bahamas to face the sinister Emilio Largo and - in an
extended underwater sequence - sets out to recover the bombs.
UK 1965. Dir Terence Young. With Sean Connery, Claudine Auger, Adolfo Celi.
130min. PG.

You Only Live Twice
The films were getting bigger and the sets, action sequences and locations
ever more extravagant. As the space race heated up in real life, so the
Bond franchise looked to the stars with SPECTRE (working for the Chinese
government) hijacking US spacecraft with a view to inciting a war between
Russia and the US. Bond travels to Japan to find the SPECTRE secret base
hidden beneath a volcano
UK 1967. Dir Lewis Gilbert. With Sean Connery, Donald Pleasence, Mie Hama.
116min. PG.

On Her Majesty’s
Secret Service
Sean Connery's decision to quit as Bond left Producers Albert R. Broccoli
and Harry Saltzman with a headache. The press went into overdrive
speculating on Connery's successor; while the producers chose good-looking
Australian actor George Lazenby after successful screen tests. Avengers
superstar Diana Rigg was brought in as an added lure and the resulting
action-packed film ensured that the franchise would continue.
UK 1969. Dir Peter Hunt. With George Lazenby, Telly Savalas, Diana Rigg.
140min. PG.

The Spy Who Loved
Me
'Cubby' Broccoli had been having problems with his business partner and,
after The Man With The Golden Gun, United Artists bought out Harry Saltzman's share: this is the first Bond film where Broccoli has sole
producer credit. The pre-credit sequence features arguably the most daring
stunt in all Bondage, when ski-jumper Rick Sylvester (doubling for Moore)
skis off the edge of a cliff and seems to fall endlessly before triggering
a Union Jack parachute.
UK 1977. Dir Lewis Gilbert. With Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curt Jurgens.
125min. PG.
