Sunday, June 10 – 5:00 PM
Double Feature: YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, 1967, MGM/Park Circus, 117 min. Lewis Gilbert directs the fifth movie starring Sean Connery as 007. To give Bond a headstart on the opposition, his death is faked. He’s then sent to Japan to track down SPECTRE’s missile silo and liaison with Japanese secret service honcho Tetsuro Tanba and operatives Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi (two of Toho Studios’ most charismatic contract actresses of the era). Karin Dor, veteran of numerous German-lensed krimis pictures also appears as a villainess. To cap things off, the great Donald Pleasence is Blofeld. With a script by Roald Dahl and Ken Adam’s most sleekly spectacular production design ever. [35mm]

ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE, 1969, MGM/Park Circus, 140 min. Dir. Peter Hunt. Former male model George Lazenby plays Ian Fleming’s superspy in one of the most satisfying (and underrated) of the 1960s Bonds. Lovely Diana Rigg proves more than Bond’s match as the two team up to topple scar-faced Ernst Blofeld (Telly Savalas), who is conducting suspect "allergy research" on beautiful women from around the world. Scripted by 007 veteran Richard Maibaum. [35mm]
