BOND BEGINS
James Bond is the creation of former British Naval Intelligence officer Ian Fleming, who crafted novels around a hero combating the refinement of an English gentleman spy and the toughness of an American private eye. With plot details taken from his own experiences during World War II, Fleming's books inspired film adaptations. Beginning with the release in 1962 of Dr. No, a fast-growing global obsession was set in motion: Bondmania. |
