Bookcover (left) The 8 James Bond movies in Italyīelow, we present the James Bond films, that are recorded in Italy with some relevant and interesting background information. The book is Illustrated with images from both the archives of the website On The Tracks of 007 and those interviewed from the films’ productions, ITALY is the definitive work charting James Bond in film and book as his adventures take you through the beauty and romance of this stunning country. Simon Firth, an English writer specializing on James Bond, has released recently a new book all about the James Bond locations in Italy. Matera was the set for the in September 2021 released film, “No Time to Die”. The film “Spectre” was filmed on location in the capital, Rome. Sardinia greeted 007 in “The Spy Who Loved Me”.īond went to Tuscany in “Quantum of Solace”.

The Bacharach score and Herb Alpert open and closing sequences are memorable.Click on this block to display all our content, by accepting our cookies or review our cooky-policy below.īond has traveled to Cortina d’Ampezzo in “For Your Eyes Only”, Lake Como in “Casino Royale”, Lake Garda in “Quantum of Solace”, Venice in “From Russia with Love”, “Moonraker”, and “Casino Royale”. Allen is always funny, and Welles does a pretty good turn as le Chiffre. When Andress is not speaking, as in the 'Look of Love' sequence or in Seller's 'shampoo' dream she's truly breathtaking. Like _What's New Pussycat_ they did manage to corral some of the most beautiful women of the time together in the same film. The film is certainly not without its merits. When they run out of story, pie fights emerge, or fusillades of bullets, or tremendous explosions. The story lacks even a real protagonist Niven and Sellers trade places in that role. It seems impossible to create a successful film with 5 directors and 10 writers (not including Ian Fleming, but including Ben Hecht, Joseph Heller, Terry Southern and Billy Wilder !!). However, _Casino_ is simply over the top at being over the top. So I am sucker for the comedy epic/ celebrity ensemble. I should confess that as a young kid I did love the film, just as I loved _What's new Pussycat_, and when I got a little older I became a guilty admirer of _The Blues Brothers_ and _1941_.

Occasional fun for the 60's lover, but completely incoherent as entertainment.
