"Schilthorn Cableway is focusing its strategy on the unsurpassed mountain landscape and the legend surrounding James Bond," says Schilthorn Cableway CEO Christoph Egger. Filming for the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service ran from 21 October 1968 to 17 May 1969 in the village of Mürren and on the Schilthorn summit. "The Schilthorn wouldn't exist in its current form without the film," Egger continues. More than enough reason to celebrate the 50th anniversary in style.

  • Museum Salutes James Bond and His Creators Critic Judith Crist Moderates Forum
    The Museum of Modern Art % 50th Anniversary to MUSEUM SALUTES JAMES BOND AND HIS CREATORS CRITIC JUDITH CRIST MODERATES FORUM In any time capsule of the 20th century, there is sure to be a commentary on and, more than likely, a print of a James Bond movie. So great is the impact of Secret Agent 007, archetypical hero of the second half of this century, that it is estimated one out of three people throughout the world have at one time or another viewed one of his spy thrillers. The most popular Bond film so far, "The Spy Who Loved Me" reportedly has drawn one and a half billion viewers or over one eighth of the earth's population. Given these facts, the Department of Film of The Museum of Modern Art, considers the phenomenon of James Bond noteworthy and is rendering, at an appropriate time concurrent with the premiere of the new James Bond "Moonraker," an homage to the producer, Albert R. Broccoli and his colleagues. Recognizing that each of the Bond films is a collabora­ tive project, Larry Kardish, Associate Curator in the Department of Film, has included in this tribute Lewis Gilbert, the director, Ken Adam, production designer, and Maurice B inder, title creator and graphics artist. The James Bond program, organized by Mr. Kardish, opens on June 25, with a documentary titled "The Making Of James Bond." It takes the viewer behind the scenes of the production of "The Spy Who Loved Me." Produced by BBC, it consists of four half-hour films: the first deals 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y.

  • 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).

  • Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: the Greatest Film Franchise’S Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair
    6/4/2017 Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: The Greatest Film Franchise’s Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair The Birth of Bond Fifty years ago, at the dawn of the commercial-jet age, James Bond strode into movie history, to show audiences how stylish and thrilling life could be. But creating the cinematic Bond was fraught with peril, as best-selling author Ian Fleming discovered when he first tried to take his hero to the screen. David Kamp recalls the unlikely team—two small-time producers, a journeyman director, and a “rough diamond” of a star—behind 007’s film debut, Dr. No, the beginning of a $5 billion franchise.

    Preface This is a reproduction of the original 1983 publication, issued now in the interests of historical research. We have resisted the temptations of hindsight to change, or comment on, the text other than to correct spelling errors. The document therefore represents the period in which it was created, as well as the hard work of former colleagues of the BFI. Researchers will notice that the continuing debate about the definitions as to what constitutes a “British” production was topical, even then, and that criteria being considered in 1983 are still valid. Also note that the Dept of Trade registration scheme ceased in May 1985 and that the Eady Levy was abolished in the same year. Finally, please note that we have included reminders in one or two places to indicate where information could be misleading if taken for current.

  • On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
    MEDIA RELEASE SCHILTHORN CABLEWAY LTD 50 Years "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" Interlaken, Mürren, 18. October 2018: Exactly 50 years have passed since filming was underway on the iconic James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The cableway company is looking back – and planning for the anniversary year activities that will delight Bond fans in particular. "Schilthorn Cableway continues to focus its strategy on the unsurpassed mountain landscape and the legend surrounding James Bond," says Schilthorn Cableway CEO Christoph Egger. Filming for the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service ran from 21 October 1968 to 17 May 1969 in the village of Mürren and on the Schilthorn summit. "The Schilthorn wouldn't exist in this form without the film," Egger continues. More than enough reason to celebrate the 50th anniversary in style: "We're planning a host of Bond-themed events, special offers and exceptional moments in 2019. The Bond fan community is a loyal visitor group. This year, we want to make them feel especially welcome on the Schilthorn," Egger adds. How did Bond end up on the Schilthorn? The producer of the sixth Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service tasked the location scout Hubert Fröhlich with finding a mountain setting that was suitable for filming dramatic, action-packed scenes. A hotel concierge in Grindelwald showed him a picture of the nearby Schilthorn. Fröhlich approached the then Schilthorn Cableway director Paul Eggenberg and chairman of the board Ernst Feuz, and their talks quickly paved the way for the implementation of the project.
