RIP.
Thanks for sharing @mtm
RIP
R.I.P. Pamela Salem here as Toos with Leela in Doctor Who The Robot's of Death.
I always thought she wasnt half bad as Moneypenny, and had good chemistry with Connery!
RIP Pamela Salem.
I love how she said "Oh!" when he talked about eliminating all free radicals.
Yes, that was a great little moment. Always makes me smile when I think about it. :)
👍
She made an impression.
RIP.
Check her out with Connery in The First Great Train Robbery, a very good film, and they had great chemistry, hence why Connery recommended her for the role of Moneypenny, which I think she did really well. I believe there were two more scenes with her and Connery which hit the cutting room floor. Would love to see them.
Thanks again @ColonelSun … I haven’t seen The First Great Train Robbery in years… I know what I’ll be watching tonight!
Enjoy.
That's sad. Those two nurses were great characters taken from the novel. The way they knew all about Bond and his clothes measurements etc. was rather creepy in a "we've been expecting you" kind of way. There's a nice juxtaposition between their superficial niceness and the creepiness of their foreknowledge.
Those two really do strike that great balance between warm hosts and sinister underlings in a lot of ways. Subtle but effective.
Creator of many great posters, the three mentioned are all fantastic.
RIP
Yes, his posters had style. Unlike the last couple DC ones. BORING when it’s just Bond (and maybe one other character) on his own. He will be missed.
Not always: Mr Goozee made it work.
Sad to hear that. Those old painted film posters were great and certainly much better than anything we've gotten since LTK onwards.
And yes, I find the Craig era posters rather underwhelming, except for QOS, but of course, it's because Olga Kurylenko is in it, in that gorgeous little black dress.
Why they changed from gorgeous painted posters to just photoshoots, I'll never know.
I was thinking that myself earlier today. I think it must've just been the fashion that other studios were moving away from painted or drawn posters to photographic ones. I think it is both a mistake and a shame that they decided to do that and I know I'm not alone in thinking that.
You're not alone, in that thought process. I still also like the SPECTRE poster, with Bond and Swann. Blofeld in sunglasses would have been cool to add on there as well. Enough with Bond alone on posters, you might as well have put the MI6 cast on there, as well, EON.
You are not alone, indeed. Some of the finest art was committed to movie posters. If you ask me, the best are found in the horror and sci-fi genre. But yes, the Bonds used to have amazing poster art as well. Among my favourites are OHMSS, MR, and TLD. We mostly get actors posing nowadays. Why are the SF posters for SF and not for QOS or SP? I don't know, because there's nothing special about them. Whereas the posters for YOLT or TSWLM belong to those films. They are unique. They hint at the flavors of the film. They are like walking into a restaurant and already smelling the chef's delicious cooking. They are inviting. They speak to us. Craig merely standing there with a gun is just a Bond pose.
And to see how far we've fallen, here's the Blu-Ray cover:
So much for progress.
Dan Goozee didn't create the poster for YOLT but he was the last great poster artist for the Bond films and will be sorely missed as one of the last representatives of vanished tradition.
