James Bond, Ian Fleming and Movies

Ian Fleming was a naval commander with British military intelligence during World War II. He drew on his experience and created a secret agent named James Bond. He also created a number for him 007, which specified the right to kill in the line of official duty. Fleming wrote about 12 books and it was not long before Hollywood decided to film them.

The start was with the film 'Casino Royale'. This was the first film on James Bond and the subject caught the imagination of the public. Now 5 decades down the line the character 007 James Bond is as popular as ever, may be more that when he was created. Hollywood has been making films on James Bond for the last 50 years and all of them have been money grosser's. In this spate of films some heroes have left a niche in the role of James Bond as portrayed by them. My favourite is Sean Connery. He starred in some notable James Bond films like 'Dr No'. 'Goldfinger', Thunderball', From Russia with Love and You only live twice. the setting for the last film was the South China Sea and japan.

Sean Connery was replaced by Roger Moore. He was good , but I would put him a shade behind Sean Connery , but some of his films like Octupussy,The man with the Golden gun and many more endeared him to the masses. Roger moore was followed by a spate of heroes playing James Bond like Timothy Dalton and others. All of them were good , but as I sid my favorite is Sean Connery. His last film ' Never say Never again' when he had aged considerably showed that Sean still had a lot of fire in him.

One other aspect of Bond that dominates his films is the bevy of beautiful girls. Bond is a great lover and he loves and leaves. Most films have some erotic scnes which have a subtle shade and add to the allure of a James Bond Movie. James Bond as a character will not die away and one can expect many more films on the subject in the years to come
