Count Lippe (Literary)

## Count Lippe

**Count Lippe** is a SPECTRE operative who appears in the 1961 Ian Fleming novel Thunderball. The Counts of Lippe really existed, and have descendants still living today. However, since 1806 all members of the family have had the title of Prince, not Count.

## Novel biography

Count Lippe is described as an extremely handsome womanizer and killer. He has brown hair, is athletic-looking, roughly six foot, and has certain features that suggest he may be Spanish or from South America. Based on stories that Lippe tells the staff at Shrublands, Bond assumes he is of Portuguese blood and is probably from Macau.

Lippe first meets Bond outside of the Shrublands health farm when he pulls up in a Bentley and nearly hits Patricia Fearing who is saved by James Bond's quick reaction. Lippe is later seen by Bond arguing with a Shrublands' masseur who requests that Lippe remove his wrist-watch while receiving a massage. When Lippe reluctantly does so, Bond notices that it was being used to cover a tattoo in red that he learns was the sign of the Red Lightning Tong. Lippe overhears Bond's phone conversation in which he is informed of the symbol and later attempts to kill Bond by turning up the power on a traction table that Bond is using. After being saved by Fearing, Bond retaliates against Lippe by trapping him in a steam bath and turning up the heat. Consequently, Lippe suffers second-degree burns and is hospitalized for a week.

Lippe was actually at Shrublands on behalf of SPECTRE, a terrorist organization. Lippe, called "Sub-operator G" by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE, was tasked to oversee Giuseppe Petacchi at the Boscombe Down Airfield where the bombing squadron was undergoing training. While Lippe's mission was semi-successful he was considered "unreliable" by Blofeld after getting into his childish clash with James Bond. As a consequence of Lippe being put into the hospital, Blofeld orders his elimination.

Because Bond knew of Lippe's connection to Macau's Red Lightning Tong, Lippe was fearful that Bond may be able to take it a step further and learn of Lippe's connection to SPECTRE. For this reason Lippe tracks Bond down and tails him in a Volkswagen unknowing that he himself is being pursued by SPECTRE agent #6. Ultimately Lippe's attempt to kill Bond once again fails and Lippe is killed when his Volkswagen is blown up.

### Young Bond

In the second Young Bond novel by Charlie Higson, Blood Fever, Count Lippe's father is mentioned as a guest in attendance at the villain's dinner party. His father is named as "Count Armando Lippe from Lisbon," however, the last name of Lippe only appears in the UK edition. In the U.S. edition he is simply "Count Armando from Lisbon" for unknown reasons.

From London on Wikipedia
Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is the world's leading financial centre alongside New York City and has the fifth- or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement.

London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory marks the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT). Other famous landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard. London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, British Library and 40 West End theatres.

She uses her privileged position to relay confidential government information back to Dr. No. Thanks to Taro's intelligence, Dr. No was made aware of Bond's identity and a welcoming party consisting of Annabel Chung and a taxi were waiting for 007 on his arrival in Kingston Airport. This had led them to his room at the Blue Hills Hotel, where a basket-full of poisoned fruit was left for him. She also proved instrumental in stealing vital government files on Dr. No.

Off the coast of Jamaica was a small island named Crab Key. It was owned by Dr. No, who was using a powerful radio beam to takeover the guidance systems of USA test missiles so he could crash land them. Miss Taro reported back any information that may concern him or his island. She looked through Bond's file and reported that a British Spy was coming to investigate.

Hilary Bray (George Baker)

## Sir Hilary Bray

**Sir Hilary Bray** is a fictional character who appears in both the Ian Fleming novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service and its 1969 film adaptation. He is a minor ally, whose identity Bond adopts in an attempt to kidnap Ernst Stavro Blofeld and is portrayed by George Baker.

## Novel biography

In the 1963 novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Sir Hilary Bray is a friend of genealogist Sable Basilisk from the London College of Arms. Unlike the later film adaptation, the character is never seen, living in 'some remote glen' in the Highlands of Scotland.

With a passing physical resemblance to Bond, a prestigious lineage and a relatively low profile, the spy concocts a plan to adopt the identity of Bray and trick Blofeld into leaving the safety of Switzerland. Once he crosses the border a kidnapping can be arranged. M reluctantly agrees to the scheme and Bond proceeds to adopt the man's identity with his consent.

## Film biography

In the film adaptation of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Sir Hilary Bray is a genealogist, effectively replacing the character of Sable Basilisk. He appears briefly when Bond attempts to find Ernst Blofeld. With a connection between Blofeld and Bray, Bond is sent to talk with Bray and attempt to find Blofeld. Sir Hilary Bray only agrees because the matter is of national importance. Bond then plans to disguise himself as Sir Hilary Bray, which is a good portion of the film. Sir Hilary Bray goes on holiday while Bond takes his identity to fool Blofeld.

Throughout the movie it was implied that Sir Hilary Bray was not interested in girls. At least two girls even thought he did not like girls when Bond, posing as Bray, seduced them. Later when Bond is exposed, Blofeld even claims Sir Hilary Bray would not seduce women. This could be the first implied homosexual character in the Bond films before Wint and Kidd in Diamonds Are Forever, the film that succeeds On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

## Behind the scenes

Director Peter Hunt's neighbour George Baker was offered the part of Sir Hilary Bray. Baker had appeared previously as an (uncredited) NASA engineer in 1967's You Only Live Twice and would go on to portray Captain Benson, the James Bond ally in the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me.

In addition to playing Sir Hilary Bray, Baker dubbed George Lazenby's voice for the central segment of the film, where Bond is impersonating the genealogist, as Hunt considered Lazenby's imitation not convincing enough.

## Trivia

* Ian Fleming considered Baker to be the ideal candidate to play James Bond in the films but the role went to Sean Connery because Baker had other commitments to a rival studio.

## Tov Kronsteen

**Tov Kronsteen** (Кронстейна) is a fictional character from the James Bond novel From Russia with Love by Ian Fleming. In the novel Kronsteen was the head of the planning department for SMERSH.

## Novel biography

Kronsteen appears in From Russia with Love, as a Colonel and the head of the Planning Department at SMERSH. He had been the chess champion at Moscow for 2 years, and when he was first introduced, he was playing the final round of what could be his 3rd win. He was near the end of the game against the Georgian champion Makharov, when he received a letter saying "You are required this instance".

When Kronsteen read the note from SMERSH, he was only moments away from winning the championship, but he knew that he could be killed by SMERSH if he didn't obey the note immediately. With sweat coming down his brow, he disobeyed the order and took three minutes to win the tournament, later telling SMERSH that the public would have been suspicious of him if he had left with only a few moves away from a win. Kronsteen thought of all people as chess pieces, and he was constantly planning ways to manipulate them and use them to his advantage. Good and bad meant nothing to him, and human life, even that of his own children, was a mere tool, with no significance.

The letter Kronsteen received summoned him to a meeting with the head of SMERSH, Colonel-General Grubozaboyschikov and the Head of Operations, Rosa Klebb. The General wanted Kronsteen to devise a plan to create a scandal and kill a British agent, humiliating both him and the whole of MI6. Kronsteen ignored Klebb's condescending tone while she outlined her choice of men to bring in on the mission. Although he was skeptical of her choices, her opinions satisfied him.

Kronsteen decided that he would lure an agent into Turkey with a beautiful Russian girl, by having her send a message to MI6, asking to be brought back to England in exchange for a Spektor decoding machine. He would then kill the agent and the girl, and steal the decoding machine back, making a fool out of MI6 and accomplishing his objective.

He decided that the agent should be James Bond, because his high reputation would humiliate the British even more. He had a watch put on Bond and realized that he was off a mission and would be perfect for the trap. He choose Istanbul, Turkey as the meeting point because of its weak MI6 base and its strong MGB base.

As they sit in traffic Bond improvises a distraction by knocking an intoxicated reveler's liquor over the car's interior and igniting it with Volpe's cigarette lighter. He flees the burning vehicle into the Junkanoo crowds, pursued by Volpe and her men. Shot in the ankle, Bond inadvertently leaves a blood trail which leads them to the Kiss Kiss Club, where 007 attempts to mix in with the dancers.

Volpe approaches Bond as he is dancing with another woman. Assuming Volpe is his wife, the woman abruptly leaves, and the pair begin slow-dancing. As they dance another henchmen takes aim at Bond from behind a nearby curtain. Bond notices in time and spins Volpe into the path of the bullet, piercing her spine and killing her instantly. Witnessing the death of their superior, Janni and the remaining thugs flee. During the Underwater fight scene between Spectre and US Navy Combat frogmen he is wounded in the wrist by a spear; as he is not shown to be among those captured, he is presummed to have been killed by sharks.

Harry Saltzman

**Herschel Saltzman** (October 27, 1915 – September 28, 1994), better known as **Harry Saltzman**, was a film producer best known for co-producing the James Bond film series with Albert R. Broccoli until selling his share of the franchise to United Artists in 1975. He retired from the business at that point with the exception of producing the 1988 British-Italian-Yugoslavian co-production Time of the Gypsies.

Saltzman was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, but he moved to Britain where he entered the film business producing social dramas such as 1959's Look Back in Anger and 1960's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.

He joined forces with Albert "Cubby" Broccoli in 1962 to create the production company, EON Productions, and their first film in the James Bond series, Dr. No. Saltzman remained Broccoli's partner up to 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun. In total, Saltzman produced nine James Bond films. In addition to the creation of EON Productions, he and Broccoli also started Danjaq, LLC, a holding company responsible for the copyright and trademarks of James Bond on screen. Danjaq is a combination of Broccoli's and Saltzman's wives' names and the parent company of EON Productions. In 1975, after financial difficulties, Saltzman sold his 50% stake in Danjaq to United Artists Corporation. The resulting legalities over the Bond property delayed production of the next Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, for three years.

Other notable productions include The Ipcress File (1965), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), and Call Me Bwana (1963) starring Bob Hope. Call Me Bwana is the only film to be produced by EON Productions outside of the James Bond franchise.

On September 28, 1994, Saltzman died from a heart attack at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, two daughters, and a sister.

Emilio Largo (Literary)

## Emilio Largo

**Emilio Largo** is a high ranking member of SPECTRE and the main villain of the 1961 novel Thunderball.

## Novel biography

In the novel, Largo is "No. 1" in the SPECTRE hierarchy; however, unlike the film, the number is randomly assigned as a security precaution. Nonetheless, Largo is the successor to Ernst Stavro Blofeld and the supreme commander of "Plan Omega". Largo is a large, handsome, athletic man, but his good looks are hard and smarmy. Attractive to women, Largo has satyr-like lips, oiled hair, and a hooked, Roman nose. He is a ruthless, successful criminal who womanizes and lives the high life among wealthy companions. This makes Largo's cover as a seeker of sunken treasure perfect.

Largo makes use of a private hydrofoil yacht, the Disco Volante. Purchased with SPECTRE funds for £200,000, the ship was specially commissioned for use in the shallow Bahamian waters. The craft plays a pivotal role in the seizure and transportation of the two nuclear weapons. Largo also obtained a rented beach property for the operation named Palmyra at Lyford Key. It serves as a residence for his "niece" and a few of his men.

Largo and the crew of the Disco Volante kill the NATO traitor Giuseppe Petacchi and steal the two nuclear warheads aboard the jet. Largo then reports the successful recovery of the weapons to Blofeld via radio. SPECTRE afterwards announces its existence to the world by threatening to destroy a major city in the United States or United Kingdom, unless a ransom of £100,000,000 is paid. This plan is dubbed "Plan Omega" by Blofeld and is overseen by Largo.

Largo is shot through the neck with a harpoon by his mistress, Domino, while he and Bond engage in underwater fighting.

Maxell also portrayed Miss Moneypenny in a 1967 made-for-television special (produced by EON Productions) titled, Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond.

### Miss Moneypenny

Director Terence Young, who once had turned Maxwell down, offered her the role of either Moneypenny or the recurring Bond girlfriend, Sylvia Trench. Maxwell was uncomfortable with a revealing scene the latter had in the screenplay, so she took the role as M's secretary. The Trench character was eliminated after From Russia with Love.

As the two men talk in the kitchen, Miss Moneypenny arrives and lets herself in, only to stumble across a half-naked Caruso, who is in the process of retrieving her clothes from the hall floor.
