Sean Connery, on the Pinewood set of Goldfinger, introduces a report about the influence gun expert Geoffrey Boothroyd has had on the character of James Bond.
Geoffrey Boothroyd was a passionate gun expert and fan of the original James Bond books.
In 1956 he wrote Ian Fleming a letter, asking him to change Bond’s signature gun – a Beretta – to something more powerful. In this clip, Boothroyd demonstrates why he thought Bond needed something with a bit more oomph.
Not only did Fleming heed his advice and change Bond’s favourite firearm, but in Dr No, he introduced a character called Major Boothroyd as an authorly homage.
Clip taken from Time Out : The Guns of James Bond, originally broadcast on BBC Television on Thursday 17 September, 1964.
