That's interesting: I thought they'd built a fake checkpoint Charlie.
I think you could go up to it so far then no farther unless you were going through. Perhaps that's what they did in the film. I know they also used it in Funeral in Berlin (1966), directed by Guy Hamilton, and the East German border guards reflected the sun on mirrors to disrupt the filming. There is footage from the time which attests to this.
I think you do see Roger go through in the film, don't you? Maybe I just assume you can! I thought I'd seen in the documentary or somewhere that they built their own version because I remember being surprised because I'd always assumed they used the real thing too.
and the Studio set for filming.
6. 'Raymond Chandler interviewed by Ian Fleming in 1958' (Video Vault/YouTube). From the BBC Archives, and just posted this month: as of June 17 there were only 90 views. Fleming picked up Chandler in London; he was drunk. He’d be dead in seven months. His voice was slurred, but not so much to keep him from pronouncing “Los Angeles” with a hard g. He starts out with a distinct, British accent, at least to American ears — born in Chicago, Chandler grew up and was educated in England. He’s meticulous about the mechanics of mob hits — if it’s in New York, you go to a hardware store in Minneapolis, give two guys the guns, put them on a plane. It takes a certain kind of person to do that, Fleming says. “I’ve known people I’d like to shoot,” Chandler says mildly. “Why’d you want to shoot them for?” Fleming says. “I guess I thought they were better dead,” Chandler says, the accent completely gone.
Fleming on Bond: "...I never intended to be a hero", but "a blunt instrument wielded by a government department" who would shoot his way out of tough situations. Really great discussion between them. And how about that photo of Chandler with a black cat, like a reverse Blofeld.
That makes two of us. ;)

Yes, I think it must've been done by using a mixture of wide location shots and close-up studio shots. The fact they drove up to it repeatedly suggests they used some actual footage from the checkpoint location in the finished film.

Fleming also wrote about his friendship with Chandler in this article. Fleming even persuaded Chandler to review Diamonds Are Forever and Doctor No for the Sunday Times--both reviews are here. Chandler also discussed Bond in this interview.

Both on the 007store.

That's interesting, thanks. Cool that they're not using the current 007 logo in it, looks great.
Is that a repaint of the Dr No poster? Looks different.

As if Bond is something you need an introduction to: if you've grown up in the western world you've already heard of him, and if you watch any of the movies you get the idea- you don't have to start with just one! Silly article writers trying to fill space.
Casino Royale? I mean, I watched Quantum of Solace first and I was incredibly discombobulated due to the editing and the revenge plot so I think it does matter to some degree...
Still, I agree that there is no right or wrong order to watch them
That's a good word. One of the very best. :)
That's another great word and can fit into any conversation about churches...and any conversation really
