Revelator

That first Scorpius cover might be the worst I've ever seen on a Bond novel! I'm almost impressed by its badness.

RichardTheBruce

As an American, @Revelator, at the time I had to settle for the cookie-cutter style of the Putnam editions from Licence Renewed to COLD Fall.

So I recognize the Scorpius cover as weak, but the British version to me is still kind of a relief. And I possess a copy of it now.

1917: The Roll of Honour in The Illustrated London News recognizes Valentine Fleming.

https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/lifestory/2483530

Valentine Fleming's Eulogy by Winston Churchill Known at: May 1917

AN APPRECIATION
‘W. S. C.’ writes of the death of Major Valentine Fleming, M.P., who,
as announced in The Times on Wednesday, was killed in action:-

This news will cause sorrow in Oxfordshire and in the House of Commons and wherever the member of the Henley Division was well known. Valentine Fleming was one of those younger Conservatives who easily and naturally combine loyalty to party ties with a broad liberal outlook upon affairs and a total absence of class prejudice.

He was most earnest and sincere in his desire to make things better for the great body of the people, and had cleared his mind of all particularist tendencies. He was a man of thoughtful and tolerant opinions, which were not the less strongly or clearly held because they were not loudly or frequently asserted.

He shared the hopes to which so many of his generation respond of a better, fairer, more efficient public life and Parliamentary system arising out of these trials. But events have pursued a different course.

As a Yeomanry officer he always took the greatest pains to fit himself for military duties. There was scarcely an instructional course open before the war to the Territorial Forces of which he had not availed himself, and on mobilization there were few more competent civilian soldiers of his rank. The Oxfordshire Hussars were the first or almost the first Yeomanry regiment to come under the fire of the enemy, and in the first battle of Ypres acquitted themselves with credit.

He had been nearly three years in France, as squadron leader or second in command, and had been twice mentioned in dispatches, before the shell which ended his life found him. From the beginning his letters showed the deep emotions which the devastation and carnage of the struggle aroused in his breast.

But the strength and buoyancy of his nature were proofs against the sombre realizations of his mind. He never for a moment flagged or wearied or lost his spirits. Alert, methodical, resolute, untiring he did his work, whether perilous or dull, without the slightest sign of strain or stress to the end. ‘We all of us,’ writes a brother officer, ‘were devoted to him.

The loss to the regiment is indescribable. He was, as you know, absolutely our best officer, utterly fearless, full of resource, and perfectly magnificent with his men.’ His passion in sport was deer stalking in his much-loved native Scotland. He rode well and sometimes brilliantly to hounds, and was always a gay and excellent companion.

He had everything in the world to make him happy; a delightful home life, active interesting expanding business occupations, contented disposition, a lovable and charming personality. He had more. He had that foundation of spontaneous and almost unconscious self-suppression in the discharge of what he conceived to be his duty without which happiness, however full, is precarious and imperfect. That these qualities are not singular in this generation does not lessen the loss of those in whom they shine.

As the war lengthens and intensifies and the extending lists appear, it seems as if one watched at night a well-loved city whose lights, which burn so bright, which burn so true, are extinguished in the distance in the darkness one by one.

Just curious, is this correct? The timing just doesn't make sense. Why when AVTAK was on general release in the UK and probably had yet to open other areas would this occur? Wouldn't both Rog and Cubby be busy promoting the film and wouldn't such a decision have had potential drawbacks with that timing?

I'd always heard it was later in the year, December maybe, that Cubby invited Rog to Beverly Hills to discuss this and the decision was made.

RichardTheBruce

Good question, @BT3366 --the source I used had a reference called out.

jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/007_franchise_timeline#cite_note-Moore2009-56
June 13: Roger Moore and Producer Albert R. Broccoli meet and mutually agree that it is time for a younger actor to take over from the 58 year old veteran.[57]

57 My Word is My Bond: The Autobiography, by Roger Moore (Collins, 10 October 2009).

Checking my own copy there are no specific dates cited.

Chapter 12 - A Farewell to Bond and Niv, page 258

...
The film premiered in May 1985 in San Francisco, as a small token of our thanks for the city's help and co-operation, swiftly followed by Prince Charles and Princess Diana honouring us with their presence at the film's Royal Premier in London.

I knew this would be my last Bond film.

Cubby and I sat down one day afterwards, reflecting on its success and mutually agreeing that it was time for a younger actor to pick up the Walther PPK. There was no drama, no tears (aside from my agent) and there was certainly no big discussion where Cubby told me that it was all over and I had to accept it...

With the London premiere 12 June, Roger's words sound like (literally) one day later they talked. Or should it be taken in more general terms? His formal announcement was 3 December 1985 as you pointed out.

So short of a better confirmation I can take that item off the June 13th entry.

You Only Live Twice
| Roger Ebert June 19, 1967 |
https://rogerebert.com/reviews/you-only-live-twice-1967

Remember those neat gadgets M was always dreaming up for James Bond? Their beauty was that they were well designed and terribly complicated, like Swiss astronomical watches, and they had a great many functions. Probably the best two were the briefcase in "From Russia with Love" and that custom car in "Goldfinger."

The great thing about these gadgets was that after M explained them to 007, they just sat around for a long time looking like briefcases and cars. Their tricks were spread through the film, and always came as a surprise when they finally were sprung. Suspense! Timing! Humor! As when the Chinese spy ejected himself from the driver's seat.

The gadgets were symptomatic of what made the first three Bond films such perfect representatives of the sex-and-sadism spy genre. It was as if the director had gone over every line of the script with a design engineer at his elbow and lovingly worked all the functions of the gadgetry into all the folds of the plot so that everything held together in a subtle way.

A great deal of money was spent on the fifth Bond epic in an attempt to duplicate this mystique, but in "You Only Live Twice" the formula fails to work its magic. Like its predecessor "Thunderball," another below-par entry, this one is top-heavy with gadgets but weak on plotting and getting everything to work at the same time.

For example, we're given another of those delicious scenes we've grown to love, in which Bond has a new gadget explained, to him. This time it's a lightweight one-man helicopter that can fire machine-gun bullets, missiles, rockets and flames. So far, so good. But instead of working the helicopter into the plot, the film immediately demonstrates all these goodies.

Bond takes off. Four helicopters attack him, naturally. He shoots one down with the machine-gun, one with the rockets, one with the missiles, and he incinerates the fourth with his flame-thrower. Just like that.

Same goes for the other stock ingredients. The girls (breathtaking Japanese lovelies) are beautiful and sexy as always, but they don't really emerge as characters the way Pussy Galore did. They're just there, decorating the place, running around in bikinis and, worst of all, not presenting much of a threat to old 007 most of the time.

Connery labors mightily. There is still the same Bond grin, still the cool humor under fire, still the slight element of satire. But when he puts on his cute little helmet and is strapped into his helicopter, somehow the whole illusion falls apart and what we're left with is a million-dollar playpen in which everything works but nothing does anything.

Piz Gloria, on the 2,970m summit of the Schilthorn in the Bernese Oberland,
was the setting for Blofeld’s lair in On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Arnd Wiegmann/Reuters

Zurich Helicopters had to airlift about 400 people off the Swiss mountain that featured in the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service after a cable car broke down. The tourists were on the 2,970m (9,744ft) Schilthorn, home of the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant, which was Blofeld’s lair in the George Lazenby film. A technical fault disabled a gondola below where they were, the Schilthorn AG company, which operates the cable car, said. The guests were taken in another cable car to a nearby ridge, where four helicopters ferried them down the mountain to the ski station of Mürren.
