7/10
Makes for a great crash-course in Bond lore.

Warning: Spoilers
Very polished and well-done documentary for the Bond fan that doesn't know everything (i.e. me). Connery's struggle with sudden fame; Lazenby's brassy audition and soon-after falling-out with the producers; that jackhole McClory hurling his monkey wrench into the 007 machine. It spends plenty of time on Bond's literary roots, and the man who wrote the legend. Fleming had his demons, man.

Admittedly, my favorite segment was the reboot of 007 with Daniel Craig. He's as brilliant a casting choice as Judi Dench was for M. But this whole thing is well-produced and brings everyone up to speed.

7/10
