Never Say Never Again

Crew: Book Author

Actors: Sean Connery, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow, Barbara Carrera, Kim Basinger

Synopsis: The title of the 1983 James Bond adventure Never Say Never Again is a self-mocking reference to star Sean Connery's insistence back in 1971 that he would never play Bond again.

1979
The Spy Who Loved Me

Crew: Book Author

Actors: Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curd Jürgens, Richard Kiel, Caroline Munro

Synopsis: Though not Ian Fleming's most famous James Bond novel, 1962's The Spy Who Loved Me was distinguished by the unique device of telling the story from the heroine's point of view; in fact, Bond doesn't make an appearance until the book is two-thirds over. This would hardly work in the film world's Bond Read More

1977

Crew: Book Author

Actors: George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, Ilse Steppat, Gabriele Ferzetti

Crew: Book Author

Synopsis: Terence Young directed this first of a long line of screen adventures with Ian Fleming's unflappable British Secret Service Agent 007 in a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek style that set the tone for the rest of the popular series. Sean Connery sets the standard by which all future takers must measure Read More

1962
Casino Royale

Crew: Book Author

Actors: Barry Nelson, Peter Lorre

Synopsis: This live television adaptation of Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, much more closely adheres to the source material than the jokey 1967 version with David Niven and Woody Allen.
