I think, for the Bond fans here, this is a fine piece of history, so I gave it an own thread

    Wonderful read, this for Bond fans anyway. I hope more people take notice.

    A very interesting article...particularly about his passion for photography. I wonder if we will see more of the photos that they mention were taken on the set by various photographers. I really liked that picture of Mendes sitting while the construction of a set is taking place.

    Loved it. Loved the whole background of the Broccoli/Wilson family. Michael and Barbara are such enlightened people. Great to see Michael's passion for photography. Makes me see the Tate Modern in a different kind of way. I want to visit Tate again soon.

    Loved this actual Saturday :-). I've been reading so much about Bond this day, both newspapers and internet. But this interview is very nice. By the way, did you catch the last sentence:

    “Oh,” he says. “I was cut out. There’s a glimpse of me, but you can’t really see me. So it’s going to be a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ moment on this one.”

    Damn....so it'll be very very hard to spot Michael in 'Skyfall'. Let's visit 'Skyfall' even more then ;-).

    Thanks for this @GermanLady. It was quite an interesting read. I would love to see all the Bond-related photos he has in his collection.

    Very nice read. I may be wrong but I think from tomorrow it will only be accessible to those with FT subscriptions so people may want to read it and/or print it.

    Interesting revelation that director Lewis Gilbert was the one who advised Roger Moore to stop trying to imitate Connery, and to just be himself.

    I think Gilbert worked well with many actors; I remember reading how helpful and encouraging he was to Michael Caine while making Alfie.
