issue 74, volume 18, october 2024

As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. When the picture is of one of the world’s most famous characters in a highly anticipated as yet-unseen adventure, it’s priceless. We sat down with photographer Keith Hamshere to reminisce about his decades shooting moments on set, and his imaginative special shoots that captured the essence of the cast and their characters.

Goldfinger’s 60th anniversary this year continues with more coverage of the touchstone film, and we give a thorough appraisal to the unmade and rarely seen 1956 screenplay for Moonraker. This issue also continues the part-work series of Music Notes as we journey through the sounds of the 1970s.
