As I’ve noted here before, I’ve been an Ian Fleming aficionado and a huge fan of the James Bond films since I first saw Dr. No when I was a kid.
An important element of the successful Bond film series has been the music, especially the lush, orchestrated music of composer and conducer John Barry.
From the James Bond theme in Dr. No to Goldfinger and beyond, John Barry’s film scores evoke suspense, thrilling action and romance. Successors to Barry have carried on the James Bond musical tradition.
I just watched Amazon Prime Video’s most interesting documentary about the 60 years of Bond film music.
“It’s not the melody, It’s an attitude...That became the Bond style.” John Barry.
The Sound of 007 pulls back the curtain on the remarkable history of six decades of James Bond music, taking viewers on a journey from Sean Connery’s Dr No through to Daniel Craig’s final outing in No Time to Die.
From Ventureland and EON Productions, The
Untold Story of 007, charts the incredible history of the
music, enthralling true tales behind the tunes and famous faces who
have recorded some of the most beloved soundtracks in cinema.
Directed by BIFA-winner and BAFTA-nominee Mat
Whitecross (The Kings, Supersonic, The Road to Guantánamo) for Prime
Video and MGM, the documentary will make its global debut
on Prime Video to mark the 60th anniversary of the James Bond film
series on October 5, 2022.
