In 1953, Ian Fleming wrote CASINO ROYALE, the first novel featuring fictional super-spy James Bond. Fleming based Bond's exploits on knowledge he obtained while working with British naval intelligence during WWII. Nine years later, the first Bond film adaptation, DR. NO (based on the sixth Bond novel), appeared. Introducing Sean Connery as the ultra-suave secret agent, the film became an instant international success, setting a new standard for cinematic action, production design, and high-tech gadgetry. After forty years, five actors have portrayed Bond--Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, and George Lazenby--and the series has adapted with the times, with the action getting faster and the dialogue both racier and wittier. MGM's JAMES BOND COLLECTION Vol. 1 includes seven titles, featuring four of the five different Bonds (Lazenby who appeared only in 1969's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, is not represented). The Connery years are covered by DR. NO (1962) and GOLDFINGER (1964). Moore, who appeared in the series during the '70s and '80s, is represented by THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974) and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977). Dalton, who portrayed Bond twice, appears here in LICENCE TO KILL (1989), and Brosnan's Bond appears in GOLDENEYE (1995) and TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997). The discs come encased in a handsome cardboard slip sleeve, with each individual title loaded with audio commentaries, featurettes, and other assorted extras. |

Notes |
|
DR. NO director Terence Young also helmed later Bond films FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and THUNDERBALL.
Roger Moore, Patrick McGoohan, and Cary Grant were all contenders for the role of 007 in DR. NO.
In GOLDFINGER, all of Bond's scenes in America were actually shot at Pinewood Studios in London.
Sean Connery didn't join the GOLDFINGER shoot until several weeks in, as he was filming MARNIE with Alfred Hitchcock.
Gert Frobe, who portrayed GOLDFINGER, spoke very little English, so his voice was dubbed by another actor.
At the time of its release in 1964, GOLDFINGER entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-grossing film in history.
The exterior shots of the sunken Queen Elizabeth in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN were filmed at the Hong Kong site of the real-life wreck.
Maud Adams of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is the only actress to play a major role in more than one Bond film. She later appeared in OCTOPUSSY (1983).
Stanley Kubrick, under total secrecy, helped light THE SPY WHO LOVED ME's supertanker scene, since cinematographer Claude Renoir's vision was failing. The supertanker set was built on the largest soundstage in the world, which cost $1 million to construct.
Villain Jaws (Richard Kiel) was originally intended to die at the end of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, but producer Albert R. Broccoli, sensing the character's appeal, changed the ending.
LICENSE TO KILL was the first Bond film that wasn't based on an Ian Fleming novel and the last one to show 007 smoking a cigarette.
"Goldeneye" was the name of author Ian Fleming's Jamaican home.
