Not just Bond

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2015)

Just a little note to highlight the fact that this is not just Bond, there are other classic Brit spies in there ones that were actually superior to Bond but never got the 'success'. One is Harry Palmer (who was an 'anti-bond'), who was actually played by a much younger Michael Caine in the 60's, (Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin)all set against a cold war background. The glasses in particular are Harry's. Another screen spy was John Steed from the Avengers (not Marvel Avengers !) and New Avengers, played by Patrick Mcnee, I think I have heard that this is getting remade shortly for the big screen. Hats and the brolly are John Steed.
Of course John le Carre Tinker Tailor series with its blue blooded gentlemans club as 'control'.
