Description

The 1960s was a watershed era for the spy movie genre. From James Bond to Matt Helm, U.N.C.L.E. to Bulldog Drummond, Harry Palmer to Derek Flint, and many others beside, a new generation of glamorous characters with an eye for danger was dominating our cinema screens. With Dr No and From Russia With Love, Ian Fleming and Eon Productions had found both a winning and successful formula and these first 007 movies inspired many other filmmakers to enter the genre and present many different rivals, imitators and spoofs of the masterspy James Bond. Written by TV and movie historian Michael Richardson, Guns, Girls, and Gadgets is an indispensable guide to 50 productions which assisted in forming the 60s movie spy craze.

What motivated me to give this a try is that it covers the two 1960s Hugh Drummond movies, Deadlier than the Male and Some Girls Do, as neither one is in The Great Spy Pictures series. I like how each movie is treated equally, obscurities such as Carry On Spying, Hot Enough for June, Operation Kid Brother, The Spy with the Cold Nose, and The Intelligence Men get the same quality coverage as The Man From Uncles, the Derek Flints, the James Bonds, the Matt Helms, Modesty Blaise, The Million Eyes of Su Muru, and he even covers things such as mooted revivals of Matt Helm in the 2000s. A wealth of info and there is even an index.
