Bond: Behind the Scenes
Ever since Sean Connery donned the tuxedo for the first time in 1962’s Dr. No, every James Bond film has been met with much fanfare and excitement the world over. 007 has become an institution and the most successful film series ever produced.During the filming of the early Bond productions, Daily Mirror photographers were granted exclusive access to Pinewood Studios. The relaxed, casual nature of their images is a far cry from the restricted and carefully stage-managed pictures we get for modern Bond films. Now Mirrorpix has opened their archives to this vast collection of behind-the-scenes images of the making of the Bond films. Enjoy this glimpse of what it was really like on the set of a James Bond film when the series was in its early days.

Here is an outstanding collection of rare photographs from the early James Bond films, covering the franchise from Dr No (1962) up to The Living Daylights (1987) and focusing mainly of the Sean Connery era.
I've been a fan of 007 since I was 10 years old, way back in 1974, & have bought many books on the films during this time. Bond Behind The Scenes is a real treat & there are a huge amount of photographs, most of which I've never seen before. There is little text here, but some wonderful pictures.
One interesting note in the book explains that since Pierce Brosnan took over as 007 in 1995 photographs of the Bond films were only permitted at organised photocalls, films premieres or by the official film photographer. So, the pictures in this book are not only excellent they are very rare indeed.

A good reminder that even complex, tough work like producing a movie has a lighter side. Interesting to see the stars we all know relaxing and sharing a joke between shots.

Amazing behind the scenes photos of Bond films before press became restricted on set with the Brosnan and Craig eras.
