You Only Live Twice (Gilbert, 1967): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.30pm
This film is part of the John Barry season at BFI Southbank.
BFI introduction:
Fresh from his success with Michael Caine in Alfie, Lewis Gilbert
directed Sean Connery’s superspy as he teams up with the Japanese Secret
Service to stop a series of space hijackings and the dastardly doings
of Donald Pleasance’s Blofeld – arguably the ultimate Bond villain. The
opening notes of Nancy’s Sinatra’s title song make for the most
recognisable Bond motif of all. And as if that weren’t enough, Barry
rises magnificently to the task of scoring the scenes in outer space.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
