Designing 007: James Bond’s style celebrated in Barbican exhibition | The Guardian
Against the background of this luminous and sparkling stage Bond stood in the sunshine and felt his mission to be incongruous and remote and his dark profession an affront to his fellow actors.
Ian Fleming, Casino RoyaleBond: Do you expect me to talk?
Goldfinger: No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die!
from GoldfingerBond: That gun, it looks more fitting for a woman.
Emilio Largo: You know much about guns, Mr. Bond?
Bond: No, but I know a little about women.
from ThunderballJames Bond: Who’d pay a million dollars to have me killed?
M: Jealous husbands! Outraged chefs! Humiliated tailors! The list is endless!
from The Man With The Golden Gun
A cool exhibition in London.
