  • Read Our Interview with Earl Cameron Here
    INTERVIEW WITH ‘PINDER’ AKA EARL CAMERON, AUGUST 2012 Interview by Anders Frejdh, Editor of From Sweden with Love. Did you always want to become an actor? I had, from my early childhood, a secret yearning for acting but I was far too shy to mention it to anyone. How did you become involved in Thunderball in the first place? I had worked on three films with Coby Brockley "Safaria, Odongo and Killers of Killers of Kilamanjaro" and he wanted me on the first Bond picture "Dr. No" but Saltzman did not think I was right for the part of quarrel however when "Thunderball came along" the part of Pinder came my way. How did you prepare for the film once you were contracted? Did you read the novel or any other of the Fleming novels? I never read any of the Ian Fleming's novels, but the part of Pinder is fairly straight forward which did not cause for much study. How was it like filming on location in the Bahamas? Location on Nassau was very glamorous, more than any other I had or have been on in my seven weeks there was a delight. What did you think about the relationship between Sean Connery and the rest of the crew? As I remember, in relationship with Connery, he was extremely friendly and also with myself. What happened at the end of filming this film, any end-of-shooting party or similar event? Did you attend the premiere and/or any other Bond film premieres over the years? I did not attend the premiere as I was away at the time of the event, in fact, at the end of the filming, I was in Manchester at Grenada Television working on a Production "The Life of Bessie Smith".

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • The Depiction of Scientists in the Bond Film Franchise Claire Hines
    The depiction of scientists in the Bond film franchise Claire Hines The James Bond film franchise began with the release of Dr No (Terence Young, 1962), a film of many notable firsts for the long-running and highly formulaic series. These important firsts include the introduction of Sean Connery as James Bond, the introduction of the criminal organisation SPECTRE and the first major Bond villain, the first of the Bond girls, and a number of key recurring characters. Even though some changes were made to the novel written by Ian Fleming (and published in 1958), the film nevertheless follows the same storyline, where Bond is sent by the British Secret Service to Jamaica and uncovers an evil plot headed by a scientific mastermind. As the first of the Bond films, it is particularly significant that Dr No has a scientist as the very first on-screen Bond villain. Played by Joseph Wiseman, Dr No was based on the literary character from Fleming’s novel, and clearly followed in the tradition of the mad scientist, but also became the prototype for the many Bond villains that followed in the film series (Chapman 2007: 66). According to the stories that circulate about the preparation of Dr No, however, this was almost not the case. In his autobiography Bond producer Albert Broccoli recalls that he and Harry Saltzman rejected an early draft of the screenplay in which the screenwriters had departed from the novel and made the villain a monkey (1998: 158). Broccoli was adamant that the script needed to be rewritten and that Fleming’s Bond villain should be restored to the screenplay (1998: 158).

Trivia 1. From the President We have stated in the past, that streaming services such as Netflix have had little impact on the viewing habits of our film society members. But the very large list of films in their catalogue is starting to have an unexpected effect. Where a film has not been taken up by a local distributor, but has been included in the Netflix catalogue, it is Netflix who have sought censorship clearance (In future Netflix will be able to apply a censorship rating for their own material), and they hold the screening rights in Australia. It is not clear whether that includes the non-theatrical screening rights also, as we have not had a response from Netflix to our queries.

  • Excalibur (Film)
    Excalibur (film) Excalibur is a 1981 American epic fantasy film directed, produced, and co-written Excalibur by John Boorman that retells the legend ofKing Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, based on the 15th-century Arthurian romance Le Morte d'Arthur by Thomas Malory. It stars Nigel Terry as Arthur, Nicol Williamson as Merlin, Nicholas Clay as Lancelot, Cherie Lunghi as Guenevere, Helen Mirren as Morgana, Liam Neeson as Gawain, Gabriel Byrne as Uther Pendragon, Corin Redgrave as Cornwall, and Patrick Stewart as Leondegrance. The film is named after the legendary sword of King Arthur that features prominently in Arthurian literature. The film's soundtrack features the music of Richard Wagner and Carl Orff, along with an original score by Trevor Jones. Excalibur was shot entirely on location in Ireland, employing Irish actors and crew. It has been acknowledged for its importance to the Irish filmmaking industry and for helping launch the film and acting careers of a number of British and Irish actors, including Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne and Ciarán Hinds.[4] Film critics Roger Ebert and Vincent Canby criticized the film's plot and characters,[6][7] although they and other reviewers[8] praised its visual style. Excalibur opened at number one in the United States, eventually grossing $34,967,437 on a budget of around US$11 million to rank 18th in that year's Theatrical release poster receipts.[5] by Bob Peak Directed by John Boorman Produced by John Boorman Contents Screenplay by John Boorman Plot Rospo Cast Pallenberg
