A VIEW TO A KILT
(ON HER MAJESTY’S
SECRET SERVICE, 1969)Broccoli:“Bond’s Scottish
heritage is very important.
We try to emphasise that
as much as we can in the
films, as we did in this
film andSkyfall. It’s a
magnificent film. It’s very
tough to follow Sean
Connery, who originated
the role and had been so
celebrated. George [Lazenby]
had a tough time. But
the film really holds up.
It’s incredible and his
performance is very good
— that last scene in the film
is very moving. He delivers
those lines wonderfully.”I remember the studio wanting
us to cut it down to some
degree. But Harry [Saltzman]
and Cubby [Broccoli, Barbara’s
father] decided to stick with it.
It became a hallmark of the
Bond series.”
Broccoli:“That film had aninterracial relationship
between Bond [Roger Moore]
and Rosie [Gloria Hendry],
which was very ahead of its
time. The film was banned in
certain states in the South.
Gloria Hendry was wonderful
— she’s a real trailblazer.”ROAD WARRIOR
(LIVE AND LET DIE, 1973)Wilson:“This is the car and
boat chase with Sheriff Pepper
[Clifton James]. At the time
people were concerned it was
such a long chase, so involved.LICENCE TO CHARM
(THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN
GUN, 1974)Broccoli:“Charm was
Roger’s middle name. He
was such a gentleman.
I’d known him since I was
a kid. I remember we were
night-shooting at about
3 o’clock in the morning
and some people came
over. He had just sat
down to eat something.
He didn’t take a beat.
He got straight up: ‘Where
are you from? Nice to
meet you.’ I was just
like, ‘Wow.’ It was
very unusual. These
films were so impactful
to him. He travelled all
over the world and
obviously saw both
sides of life. Audrey
Hepburn was sick and
asked him to take over
as a UNICEF ambassador
and he did. He was an
incredible man.” ❯
