The Ties That Bond
Tracking the Legacy of Cinema's Greatest Hero
By: John Latchem
Ian Fleming could scarcely have imagined the longevity and influence of his most famous literary creation, a British superspy named Bond, James Bond. From books to films and DVDs, Bond has left an indelible legacy.
“Ian Fleming created this hero,” says Steven Jay Rubin, author of The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia. “But it was the films that that introduced him into the public consciousness.”
The Bond films, with their breathtaking stunts, outrageous one-liners and larger-to-life villains, also would redefine the nature of the action movie.
