 LOVED IT!; What can I tell ya... November 16, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I always thought Bond Girls were Dream Girls, and that Maryam D'Abo was the loveliest of them all! Whether playing vamps, ladies in distress, or a...kicking b...ches, these lasses brought the movie's best fun, for what is the ultimate reason behind any cool car, sharp suit, or newest gadget? Why, THE GIRL, of course!!!
Ms D'Abo proves with her documentary (she wrote, produced and directed it) that Bond Girls ("Women"?, "Sexual Mates"?, "Female Persons"?, "Whatever-politically-correct-idiocy-they'll-come-up-next"?) are not merely attractive, but good, intelligent actresses playing the toughest part there is in their craft: the fantasy everyone wishes to get or be. It may sound simple, but it's an Herculean, ehr... Aphrodithean task! How many thespians can convincingly play a drunkard? A cab driver? An honest cop? Quite a lot, to be sure. What good-looking woman can describe herself as the most gorgeous creature that ever walked on Earth? No one in her right mind. Well now ...try playing that!
Morons who criticize these brave actresses successfully undertaking this most thankless role, either don't get the joke, or carry a burdensome yoke themselves; mainly envy or frustration. And producers who afterwards belittle them as "bimbos" are nothing but misogynist cretins; the very sexist pigs feminists should be quarrelling with! As for me, plain moviegoer, I gratefully say long live Bond Girls and the actresses that enlivened them! May they always get the parts they crave, for their proven skills deserve them!
 A superficial looking into the James Bond movies January 21, 2005

The film is listed as a "documentary" but it doesnt quite fit
the bill. In actually its a bit of escapades of scenes
featuring the bond girls on their work in the bond movies.
The thing that bothered me is how one instant some of the
actress that are interviewed from halle berry, to
Maryam d'abo (whose actually the interviewer), Jill St. John
all pass themselves of as feminists one minutes, the next
their defending themselves from accusations that the bond
girls are just sex objects when in fact they are SEX OBJECTS.
Its quite a hilarious contradiction. Some of the women
interview though like the beautiful Ursula Andress has no problem accepting the fact that she was a sex symbol and was hired for that reason only.
In fact actress like Madu Adam who played the love intereest to Roger Moore admits she had objections to the sexual script because it seemed that bond's character took the role of almost an agreesive rapist in a love making scene.
So it's an interesting movie with clips thrown in, but its far
from being an objective documentary.

In this documentary Maryam D'Abo sits down for one-on-one interviews with Ursula Andress, Honor Blackman, Luciana Paluzzi, Jill St. John, Lois Chile, Maude Adams, Carey Lowell, Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike. The discusions center on the changing role of the Bond girl thorugh the series. It is most definately recommended for any fan of the cinematic Bond.
