Overview
To coincide with the release of Casino Royale, this film celebrates the music at the heart of the Bond phenomenon. From Shirley Bassey to Sheena Easton, John Barry to Paul McCartney, and Moby to Madonna, James Bond’s Greatest Hits covers every 007 film since Dr No in 1962. It tells the stories behind the nation’s favourite Bond songs, as voted for in a nationwide MORI poll. Will viewers favour old-school favourites like Goldfinger and the James Bond Theme over modern anthems like Madonna’s Die Another Day? The film also uncovers Bond themes that didn’t make it, including efforts by Blondie and Alice Cooper. James Bond’s Greatest Hits includes the first John Barry interview in nearly a decade on his Bond repertoire, plus contributions from Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Monty Norman, Lesley Bricusse, Don Black, Nancy Sinatra, Duran Duran and A-Ha.
