Bond Girls Are Forever

One of the features of any film featuring agent 007 has always been the Bond Girl - while that is not something that is necessarily accepted as much in today's society, it is a part of the lore. You cannot separate Bond from the Bond girls any more than you could get rid of M or Q. Or Moneypenny for that matter. This DVD does a good job of going through the history of the Bond Girls throughout the films. An entertaining watch. A lot of the back story information I already knew - but I also learned a lot from watching the DVD. Recommended for any fan of Mr. Bond.

I always thought Bond Girls were Dream Girls, and that Maryam D'Abo was the loveliest of them all! Whether playing vamps, ladies in distress, or a...kicking b...ches, these lasses brought the movie's best fun, for what is the ultimate reason behind any cool car, sharp suit, or newest gadget? Why, THE GIRL, of course!!!Ms D'Abo proves with her documentary (she wrote, produced and directed it) that Bond Girls ("Women"?, "Sexual Mates"?, "Female Persons"?, "Whatever-politically-correct-idiocy-they'll-come-up-next"?) are not merely attractive, but good, intelligent actresses playing the toughest part there is in their craft: the fantasy everyone wishes to get or be. It may sound simple, but it's an Herculean, ehr... Aphrodithean task! How many thespians can convincingly play a drunkard? A cab driver? An honest cop? Quite a lot, to be sure. What good-looking woman can describe herself as the most gorgeous creature that ever walked on Earth? No one in her right mind. Well now ...try playing that!Morons who criticize these brave actresses successfully undertaking this most thankless role, either don't get the joke or carry a burdensome yoke themselves; mainly envy or frustration. And producers who afterwards belittle them as "bimbos" are nothing but misogynist cretins; the very sexist pigs feminists should be quarrelling with! As for me, plain moviegoer, I gratefully say long live Bond Girls and the actresses that enlivened them! May they always get the parts they crave, for their proven skills deserve them!

A short documentary on the roles of the leading ladies of the James Bond films from Dr. No to Die Another Day!

IF YOU HAVE ALL THE BOND FILIC THIS IS GREAT TO HAVE, BECAUSE IT SHOW THE WOMEN BEHIND BOND TO MAKE A OUTSTAND SERIES OF MOVIE.

9.7 out of 10This immortalizes many different women forever as Bond girls, like a badge of honor. I only regret Raquel Welch never got to be a Bond girl.

The film is listed as a "documentary" but it doesnt quite fitthe bill. In actually its a bit of escapades of scenesfeaturing the bond girls on their work in the bond movies.The thing that bothered me is how one instant some of theactress that are interviewed from halle berry, toMaryam d'abo (whose actually the interviewer), Jill St. Johnall pass themselves of as feminists one minutes, the nexttheir defending themselves from accusations that the bondgirls are just sex objects when in fact they are SEX OBJECTS.Its quite a hilarious contradiction. Some of the womeninterview though like the beautiful Ursula Andress has no problem accepting the fact that she was a sex symbol and was hired for that reason only.In fact actress like Madu Adam who played the love intereest to Roger Moore admits she had objections to the sexual script because it seemed that bond's character took the role of almost an agreesive rapist in a love making scene.So it's an interesting movie with clips thrown in, but its farfrom being an objective documentary.

Arrived, quickly, in great condition. Liked the content but wish it would have included interviews with a few other Bond girls like Sophie Marceau.

A great addition to any Bond Collection. It has great behind the scenes stories and of course there are the BOND GIRLS then and now!
