THE JAMES BOND FILMS 1962-1989 by Lee Goldberg! Interviews, Set Visits PAPERBACK

Description: THE JAMES BOND FILMS 1962-1989 by Lee Goldberg! Interviews, Set Visits PAPERBACK As pictured, book in EXCELLENT condition! Spine unbroken! No rips, folds or writing! Original owner, NONSMOKING household! In the 1980s, long before Lee Goldberg became a #1 New York Times bestselling author and successful TV writer/producer, he paid his UCLA tuition and rent by working as a freelance journalist covering the entertainment industry. His first, big interviews was with one of his idols, screenwriter Richard Maibaum, who wrote most of the James Bond movies. That lengthy, controversial, and award-winning interview, first published in the UCLA Daily Bruin and later reprinted in Starlog Magazine, was the beginning of Lee's extensive 007 coverage. Over the next few years, his Bond-related interviews for Starlog and other publications included actors Barry Nelson (the first man to play James Bond in TV’s Casino Royale), George Lazenby (the one-time Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton, screenwriters Tom Mankiewicz, Michael Wilson and Lorenzo Semple Jr., and directors John Glen and Peter Hunt. Those interviews and more, quoted for decades in reference books about the Bond films, are now collected for the first time, in their original form, in this entertaining, and unique volume. This book, the first in a series of Goldberg's collected Hollywood journalism, isn’t an exhaustive, detailed examination of the Bond films. Instead it's an intriguing snapshot of filmmaking in the 1980s, a revealing look at the creation of the Bond films...and perhaps also offers a glimpse into Goldberg's formative years as a writer, and how the lessons learned from his interviews may have shaped his own career as an acclaimed novelist and screenwriter. "Goldberg’s book is quite a time capsule for James Bond fans, offering glimpses at select films through major creative talents. What it’s not is a front-to-back narrative, so don’t expect that; do expect a little repetition, necessary for piece-by-piece context — these are reprints, after all. Being a sucker for the 007 movies, I regularly buy books about them … only to usually emerge disappointed. That’s not the case with The James Bond Films 1962-1989, thanks to Goldberg’s access, insight and skill, approaching the work as one should: a writer first, a fan second." —Rod Lott, Flick Attack
