Fifty years (then 2002) ago,an unknown writer sat down to write a novel that gave birth to one of the most famous fictional characters ever created.The novel was 'Casino Royale.' The novelsit Ian Fleming,and the character James Bond.
Bond soon eclipsed his creator, progressing from page to screen ten years later.Immortalised through Sean Connery's performance,then Roger Moore's,Bond was established as a worlwide sex symbol.He became an icon,defeating enemies and seducing women - and audiences - with his devastating combination of style,wry wit and understated cool.
'Martinis,Guns and Girls' is the definitive survey of the world of Bond, from Fleming's initial novel to the latest Pierce Brosnan blockbuster.It examines how this adult fairy tale has managed to thrive despite the bewildering number of changes that have occurred since 1952.
This authoritative book features the extraordinary individuals - including Connery, Moore,Cubby Broccoli and Fleming - who made Bond and also includes a contribution from Sir John Morgan,who was Ian Fleming's step son-in-law.Sir John reveals details of the Bond novel that Ian Fleming was planning to wite: a South American adventure in which 007 was to encounter the sinister cult of Macumba and a supervillain named Kaiser.
With unprecedented access to the most recent films and stills from the early years,Martin Sterling and Gary Morecambe present the ultimate history of a unique literary and cinematic icon.
