Keeping the British End Up: Four Decades of Saucy Cinema

Product Information

Moore’s Bond immediately was its own entity: 007 is a fashionable and fastidious dresser, smokes Havana cigars, has a public schoolboy charm and very English veneer, speaks fluent Italian and tended to outsmart his foes. Yet the screen Bond is hardly a hero in the manner of gentlemanly archetypes such as Cary Grant and David Niven (reputedly Ian Fleming’s preferred choice for the role). He was the Bond not only of his own but also the Daniel Craig generation by keeping Ian Fleming’s gentleman spy alive when people thought his best days were over.

It’s always been my dream to turn the book into a film and, for the past few months, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.The enduring popular image of James Bond is (in the words of the theatrical trailer for Dr No) ‘the gentleman agent with the licence to kill’. If I told you to list some of the staples of motion pictures what would you include: stars, a good script. Taken from the title of Mary's biggest hit sexcom, which also incidently holds the record for being the longest-ever theatrical booking in British cinema history! We meet Roger in the middle of getting to know a lovely blonde in a snow bound log cabin, before he’s off in his yellow ski suit. His work has appeared in The Independent, NME, Vice, The Guardian, British GQ, Empire, Lonely Planet Traveller and numerous other publications.

While the book is meant to titillate, particularly with its images of naked people who litter almost every page, it also seeks to educate those who actually want to learn about the history it describes.The author does a great job of summing up the film, and includes a bit about the production and actors involved, as well as an overview of the social evolution of "naughty" films in the UK.

As you might know, he had a lot to do with the screen treatment of Thunderball, and had teamed up with Saltzman and Broccoli in 1965 on the understanding that he wouldn’t launch a rival production.Arguably no character symbolises Britain and British identity more than Bond, yet Bond's Britishness has assumed an overtly English form.
