FSWL contributor Brian Smith reviews The World Of GoldenEye written by Nicolás Suszczyk. This book is an affectionate look at the seventeenth James Bond film - a scholarly study of the film’s themes, its place at the end of the cold war and within popular culture. Suszczyk makes some insightful observations. While acknowledging the film is not based on any Ian Fleming book, he notes the similarities which may have influenced the film’s script. Bond’s disabling of Spang’s train in the 1956 novel Diamonds are Forever is similar to Bond stopping the villain’s armoured train, and Fleming’s disfigured villain Sir Hugo Drax from 1955’s Moonraker may have influenced the similarly scarred Alec Trevelyan. It is pleasing to know that this author knows his Fleming.

Jim Dowdall's love of everything military is certainly a major factor in his career. If you are a director and you want to recreate a battle sequence as if you were there at the time Jim will not only find a way of doing just that but will also dig up actual vehicles, the correct time of day the battle was fought and a number of engines that were likely to have been used in that period. He is a master of authenticity.
