A must for James Bond/Fleming fans.
30 April 1999
A fast paced entertaining video biography of the late Ian Fleming (author of the original James Bond novels and short stories). Having read several actual biographies on Fleming, one should be cautioned that much of the peripheral info in this film has been reverse incorporated from the later Bond FILMS into this video. Fleming, I believe, only saw one Bond film (Dr. No) and died during or just following the shooting of the second (From Russia with Love). The fascinating part would be knowing just how much information came from Sean Connery to his son Jason to play this role (Ian Fleming). Sean Connery and Ian Fleming hit it off quite well at the start of the Bond series, and because of Goldfinger - Connery actually started playing golf!

James Bond fans...this one is definately for you
24 Jan 1999
Spymaker is the life and times of Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond. In this movie, we see where Fleming got his ideas for a secret spy agent. He loved women, Vodka Martini's, fast cars, and near death experiences. Being a reporter for Reuters, he traveled abroad. One such trip took him to Russia, with love of course. There he became involved with women (never again with cold lips), espionage, and lucky escapes from death. In other scenes, we see why Moneypenny tosses James hat on the coat rack. There are many scenes were you end up saying to yourself, "So that's were he got that from." Ian Fleming was the real life James Bond. Kristin Scott Thomas does an excellent job of portraying the strong, independant type who eventually can't resist the charm of such a debonair man. She reminded me a lot of Diana Rigg's character Tracy de Vicenzo in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Being a Bond fanatic, this film gives some very important background information into where it was that the Bond series came from. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't a Bond fan but you feel like a good adventure.

The Amazing Ian Flemming
28 Feb 2002
If you have not read any of Ian Flemmings books, this movie is the best way to see how The James Bond character came to fruition. Excellent movie to top off your James Bond collection and who better to play the role of Ian Flemming than the son of one of most well loved Bonds of them all Sean Connery. Jason Connery is superb. This movie is a gem.
