It is in the extras to YOLT, presented in HD and runtime is 52 minutes.
I already watched it roughly one week ago, but this is so great I have to see it again.
It features Desmond Llewelyn and Lois Maxwell in their roles as Q and Moneypenny, especially written and filmed for this TV Special. I think their screen time totals something like 10 minutes but I would have to check back on that.
The story is so funny. It's basically some secret woman planning to marry James Bond. You'll see her driving in a limousine talking to her chauffeur.
Meanwhile Moneypenny is contemplating losing James to some woman and she wonders who that may be. She's going through MI6 dossiers of several women that have played a role in James' past.
Later on she's consulting Q in his laboratory.
The end to the story is quite amusing I must say.
It features a lot of clips from the first five Bond movies and of course that is always a treat to watch. Mostly it's Bond with one of his women.
I can recommend this.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
.....first I have to adjust the sound.............okay that's more like it.....
Gunbarrel-
although Conti's score is slightly dated this IS tradition Bond gunbarrel music.
Love it!
The circle pops rather than opens.....
Yeah, me too.
Doesn't matter, I like this Blofeld actually.
Titles: music video style. not my number one favorite, but it still differentiates itself.
For the ballad style song this one is fairly iconic.
I was a gunbarrel nut as a kid too. It reminded me of the first three when the dot gets smaller and disappears.
Unlike the similar section of TND, this sequence moves pretty fast.
Freddie Gray has a nice office- looks like Edward Fox's a bit.
I should turn in my Bond fandom badge as I can't remember this actors name. I'm ashamed.
Damn.............
Stefan Kelipha was in the 1983 masterpiece SUPERMAN III.
I miss Bernard Lee here.
Try to keep it up.............
good vibration..........
The two guards who capture Bond don't look that imposing, especially the blond disco king guy who looks like someone Jim Rockford could beat up.
Into the water he goes. Not a problem for Bond.
Bob Simmons.............
here we are my fave chase in the Moore era.
The Roger nod..............I used to do that to people if we were at a stoplight and they made eye contact..........it was funny when I was 10.
Somewhere there's a cool thread about the offices in the Bond films.
Tanner actually is reminding me of Edward Fox the way he gives Bond a hard time.
"Try not to muck it up again"
For a while, I used to clear my throat after seeing him do the same in Moonraker before meeting Dr. Goodhead.
That is a great little moment. It makes no sense for the bad guys not to shoot at him, but I think such breaks from reality are perfectly acceptable when they are handled like this.
So cordial, sincere and polite.
Perhaps that's why it feels so fresh and not obligatory.
Nice! I should try that.
There are lots of Rogerisms that are helpful or fun in real life. I remember some kid gave me a push, and I looked back and said "Thank you" in my best Roger voice. By recess we were hanging out.
