Author Raymond Benson entertained us by reviewing the chronology of James Bond movies along with his commentary on the producers, directors and actors who have ridden on this golden train since 1953.

 

Raymond got his start as a James Bond novelist after authoring “The James Bond Bedside Companion”.

 

Better known as agent 007, James Bond is a fictional character who works in the field for British Intelligence subsequent to the ending of World War II.  Because of this character’s long box office success in American movies, he is most likely America’s best known movie hero.  Producers Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli have been instrumental in developing this iconic Ian Fleming created character.

 

Now, after authoring numerous James Bond novels and novelettes Raymond has been creating a new character series called the Black Stiletto.  Some of the Black Stiletto settings are right here in Arlington Heights, IL.
