Zero-Zero-Nana Wa Nido Shinu (that’s Japanese for You Only Live Twice)

Written & Compiled by GRAHAM RYE

 

June 12th 2007 saw the 40th anniversary of the world premiere of the fifth James Bond film You Only Live Twice, and to mark that anniversary 007 MAGAZINE presents a definitive look back at the most spectacular and exotic James Bond movie ever made!

007 MAGAZINE originally featured two special editions of its printed publication in August 1999 and July 2000 (now both out of print) which examined in detail the making of You Only Live Twice, which we re-present here with a host of new additional material - because, Twice is the only way to live!

Featuring comment from exclusive 007 MAGAZINE interviews & correspondence with: Ken Adam, Maurice Binder, Sir Sean Connery, Cliff Culley, Joe Fitt, Lewis Gilbert, Mie Hama, Peter Hunt, Bert Kwouk, George Leech, Bert Luxford, Julie Rogers, John Stears, Tetsuro Tamba, Ronnie Udell, Akiko Wakabayashi, Wing Commander Ken Wallis, Norman Wanstall, and Alan Whicker.
