Ian Fleming: 007's Creator

2000 · 44 min

A warm, conversational portrait that feels like paging through a family scrapbook of interviews and archival footage.

Overview
John Cork and his compatriots from the Ian Fleming Foundation, who have created outstanding documentaries for most of MGM's 007 DVDs, provide a fine overview of the life and times of James Bond's creator. Rather than using voice-over narrative, Cork and company tell this story entirely through the recollections of Fleming's family, friends and colleagues, combining new interviews with archival footage (including conversations with Fleming himself).
