The James Bond films are famous for their exotic locations, matching and even surpassing the settings of
Ian Fleming’s original novels. But all is not what it seems! (It rarely is in the cinema.)
• The gold-obsessed villain’s factory in
Goldfinger (1964) – Switzerland or Buckinghamshire?
• The hovercraft chase in
Die Another Day – North Korea or Oxfordshire?
• The U.S. air base in
Tomorrow Never Dies – the South China Sea or Suffolk?
• The chase around the airport in
Casino Royale – Miami or Surrey?
• Max Zorin’s mine in
A View to a Kill – California or Sussex?
• The explosive climax of
From Russia with Love – the Adriatic coast or Argyll?
• The oil pipeline in
The World Is Not Enough – Azerbaijan or Snowdonia?
• Those snowy scenes in
Quantum of Solace – Tatarstan or Hampshire?
J. P. Sperati’s intensively researched and lavishly illustrated book is the perfect guide to the British locations of all the official James Bond movies, from Doctor No to SkyFall – including the sound stage built for
The Spy Who Loved Me at Pinewood, and the entire studio built for
GoldenEye (1995). Complete with historical information, many rare photographs, indexes and maps.
A must for all James Bond Enthusiasts.
