SPIONE And Its Influence On Spy Movies

SPIONE And Its Influence On Spy Movies\\xa0

SPIONE And Its Influence On Spy Movies is a look at this 1928 Fritz Lang spy movie.\\u202fAnd, Dan and Tom fill you in on just how big an influence SPIONE is in the spy movie genre.\\u202f\\xa0\\xa0

Significantly, SPIONE is the first spy movie we\\u2019ve been able to find that isn\\u2019t based on a war. Not surprisingly, this movie laid out the blueprint for most non-war-based spy movies to come.\\xa0

SPIONE was a very influential movie\\xa0

Even if you don\\u2019t watch the movie, this episode will fill you in on how SPIONE blazed the trail and influenced spy movies to come, which all spy movie fans should know. You\\u2019ll certainly recognize some tropes you\\u2019ve seen in more modern spy movies.\\xa0 Tropes such as: how did that guy not die when he was shot at close range? What was that pill that guy bit down on?\\u202f What is a spy movie villain supposed to look like?\\u202f A train in a spy movie? What things in this movie did we then see Alfred Hitchcock do? How was that guy dressed? And more!\\xa0

What are the positives and the negatives of SPIONE?\\xa0

We should warn you that SPIONE is a 2 \\xbd hour black and white silent movie. Watching a silent movie is a different experience from what we get when watching modern\\xa0
movies.\\xa0 Although the movie was filmed in Germany, there are many versions with English subtitles available.\\u202f You can certainly find different releases of SPIONE on YouTube. The English title of the movie is SPIES.\\xa0

So, have you seen SPIONE?\\u202f Will you watch it after you listen to this episode?\\xa0

Tell us what you think\\xa0

Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.\\u202f The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!\\u202f We\\u2019ll give you a shout-out in a future episode!\\u202f\\u202f\\xa0

5 Fingers Decoded!

Dan and Tom decode the 1952 classic spy movie, 5 FINGERS.\\xa0 This excellent movie starring James Mason is a fantastic espionage thriller, but not an action thriller.\\xa0 And we think it works quite well that way.

5 FINGERS is based on the true story of Albanian-born Elyesa Bazna, who worked as a valet for the British ambassador to Turkey during World War II and became a Nazi spy. Also, it is based on the L.C. Moyzisch novel \\u201cOperation Cicero\\u201d.\\xa0 If you are a fan of our podcast, undoubtedly noticed that we generally like spy movies based on reality.\\xa0 \\xa0Emphatically, 5 FINGERS is no exception.

We look at James Mason\\u2019s character\'s codename which is Cicero, and discuss the significance of that name. As well as the significance of the title. Specifically, beyond the \\u201c5-finger discount\\u2019s\\u201d obvious significance.

Dan and Tom also look at what they think are the positive aspects of 5 FINGERS. These include an intriguing plot, strong acting performances, a suspenseful atmosphere, and more. \\xa0

Tom is a huge fan of this movie.\\xa0 And without a doubt, the last 90 seconds of this movie are a big reason.\\xa0 The build-up, stress, and apparent relief throughout make this ending spectacular. James Mason\\u2019s performance at the end takes it significantly to great heights.

Dan and Tom also look at some of the negative comments they\\u2019ve read about 5 FINGERS and share their thoughts on those.

It is 5 FINGERS, not FIVE FINGERS

We should highlight that this episode is about the 1952 movie 5 FINGERS with the numeral 5 at the beginning.\\xa0 There is a completely different movie from 2006 that has nothing to do with this one.

What are your thoughts?

Did you see 5 FINGERS? If so, do Dan and Tom have the right perspective? What did you think of this episode? Please let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and if you want to be notified of our next event.

Maestro John Morris Russell Talks James Bond Concert

John Morris Russell Talks Shaken Not Stirred

Dan and Tom interview Maestro John Morris Russell (JMR) about his Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert, \\u201cShaken Not Stirred,\\u201d musical scores, and James Bond music.\\xa0 As you might have guessed, the concert\\u2019s focus is the music of James Bond.\\xa0 \\xa0You may know JMR from his work as the conductor of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for the past 13 years.\\xa0

Joining JMR in the concert is the amazing vocalist Capathia Jenkins. She possesses the wide vocal range needed to cover the various styles of singers from the James Bond catalog.

We will be attending the concert and we\\u2019re sure James Bond fans will enjoy this one.\\xa0\\xa0

In this episode, JMR talks about what to expect in this concert and how they put it together.\\xa0 He also talks about his career, why he decided to conduct instead of play an instrument, some influential composers, and film scoring in general.\\xa0 If you\\u2019ve ever wanted to know what a composer has to deal with in scoring a movie, JMR gives you a good idea.\\xa0 It is really amazing how they do it.

One other area we discuss is how technology has made composition more efficient.\\xa0 Much is the same as it\'s been for hundreds of years.\\xa0 But, some of it is streamlined today.

Raymond Benson with an assist

Dan and Tom wanted some expertise for this interview, so they asked Raymond Benson for an assist.\\xa0 Of course, Raymond graciously agreed. Raymond helped us delve into other composers\' works and JMR\\u2019s experiences with them.\\xa0 Plus, Raymond tells of a very scary experience he had with composer John Barry.

What do you think?

So, we\\u2019re excited to be going to this concert and see John Morris Russell put what he told us into action.\\xa0 We think this will be a good one.\\xa0 Do you have plans to go to this concert?\\xa0 \\xa0If so, let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode by dropping us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.\\xa0 The more we hear from you, the better the show will be!\\xa0 We\\u2019ll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

SPY HUNT was based on the book \\u201cPanther\\u2019s Moon\\u201d by Victor Canning. It has espionage, a MacGuffin, a train, a dead drop, escaped black panthers, a budding romance, and quite a few interesting characters.

Diamonds Are Forever Las Vegas and Octopussy Utah Filming Locations with Matt Sherman

Dan and Tom talk with Matt Sherman about the DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER Las Vegas and OCTOPUSSY Utah filming locations.

Besides being a James Bond expert, Matt Sherman leads tours to many different James Bond filming locations \\u2013 check his website https://bondfanevents.com/.

In this episode, we discuss what we experienced on Matt\\u2019s tour of two relatively close filming location areas for two movies, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (DAF) and OCTOPUSSY.\\xa0

Much of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER was filmed in and around Las Vegas, Nevada in the U.S. For instance, the casinos, the desert, the mortuary, the car chase and more are all there.

Surprisingly, if you take a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas into southwestern Utah, you\\u2019ll end up in some key locations from OCTOPUSSY. Much of the OCTOPUSSY pre-title sequence was filmed in this stunningly beautiful part of the U.S. Some of the scenes toward the end of the movie were filmed here as well.

Some of the filming location questions we answer are:

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER LAS VEGAS

• What airport did James Bond arrive in when he came to Las Vegas?

• How many locations were used when Plenty O\\u2019Toole was tossed from the hotel window?

• Where is the location of the parking lot from the car chase?

• Why is visiting the Palm Boulder Highway Mortuary & Cemetary not enough to experience the mortuary scenes?\\xa0

• What game can you still play at the Circus Circus arcade area?

OCTOPUSSY Utah

• Where was the gas station that James Bond\\u2019s jet pulled up to when Bond said \\u201cfill \\u2018er up\\u201d?

• How did they film the take-off and landing of Bond\\u2019s jet?

• Where is the bridge the plane flies under?

• Where did James Bond jump from his horse onto Kamal Khan\\u2019s plane?

• When standing near the bridge, you can see places portraying what countries from what movies?

This is a fun discussion.\\xa0 The next time you are in Las Vegas, go visit these sites.\\xa0 You\\u2019ll be glad you did.

So, have you been to any of these sites? If so, let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode by dropping us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.\\xa0 The more we hear from you, the better the show will be!\\xa0 We\\u2019ll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

The 2018 Indian movie RAAZI is a spy movie worth watching. It is one of Tom\\u2019s all-time favorite spy movies. Have you heard of RAAZI?

RAAZI is a fictionalized drama about a real spy in the 1971 India-Pakistan war.\\xa0 This is an espionage movie, not an action movie, which we think is a good thing.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - How the Story Came to Be

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - How the Story Came to be

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, the movie, was not the story from Ian Fleming\\u2019s short story with the same title.\\xa0\\xa0 In this episode, Dan and Tom decode the movie to see how the story came to be.

Some of the characters from the movie, and some of the plot points were adapted from Ian Fleming\\u2019s 1960 short stories \\u201cFor Your Eyes Only\\u201d and \\u201cRisico\\u201d.\\xa0 Plus, the locations of the 2 stories and the movie are all different. People\\u2019s names have changed.\\xa0 The reason that people have wanted revenge has changed.\\xa0 The MacGuffin has changed.

Yet, even with all of that, the movie, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY turned into one of Roger Moore\\u2019s best movies playing James Bond.

And the 1968 movie ICE STATION ZEBRA definitely influenced the final version of the movie FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.\\xa0 Dan and Tom lay it out in this episode!

So, take a listen.\\xa0

We assume you\\u2019ve seen the movie FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. Have you read Fleming\\u2019s short stories \\u201cFor Your Eyes Only\\u201d and \\u201cRisico\\u201d?\\xa0 If so, did Dan and Tom miss anything? \\xa0Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode by dropping us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.\\xa0 The more we hear from you, the better the show will be!

Alfred Hitchcocks Storyboards with author Tony Lee Moral

Alfred Hitchcock\\u2019s Storyboards with author Tony Lee Moral

Dan and Tom bring back author Tony Lee Moral to discuss his latest book Alfred Hitchcock\\u2019s Storyboards. We focus on Hitchcock\\u2019s spy movies in today\\u2019s discussion. Unquestionably, Hitchcock was notorious for his use of storyboards and his practice has been emulated by many directors.\\xa0

We read an advance copy of the book prior to its February 6, 2024, release.\\xa0 Tony\\u2019s book is an excellent look at why Hitchcock used storyboards. He also discusses how Hitchcock used them to set up the filming of the scenes in his movies. He drills into many of Hitchcock\\u2019s movies.\\xa0 In addition, one great aspect of the book is the sheer number of storyboards he includes in the book that Hitchcock used. And the industry tricks of the trade including how those have changed over time with the use of technology.

Another thing we love about this book is that Tony teaches us about making movies. He does this by showing us how Hitchcock did it. \\xa0For example, in his discussion on THE 39 STEPS, Tony talks about how TikTok users can use a similar approach to what Hitchcock did to string together a bunch of shorts. We drill into this with Tony in this episode.\\xa0 It\\u2019s a great and fun way to learn.

THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD - Decoded!

THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is often considered one of the best spy movies of all time. We couldn\\u2019t agree more. In this episode, Dan and Tom decode this classic.

As far as spy movies go, THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is dark, and probably a bit more realistic in terms of a spy\\u2019s life, than anything James Bond does. \\xa0There are no Aston Martins here, no tuxedos, no glamorous venues \\u2013 nothing that could make you smile or feel relaxed much. \\xa0The decision to film it in black and white was brilliant and adds to the overall feeling of despair.

The story is fairly complex, and you must pay attention.

Dan and Tom will help guide you through some of the complexities, although they disagree on the ending.

They also discuss how this movie fits into the time of the Cold War and real-world double-agents.

The cast, led by Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, and Oskar Werner, is top shelf. Burton earned a BAFTA Best British Actor win and an Academy Award Nomination for his role as Alec Leamas. The movie picked up seven BAFTA nominations, winning four of them. It also earned an Academy Award Nomination for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black and White, among other industry awards. Oskar Werner picked up a BAFTA nomination for Best Foreign Actor as well.

So, have a listen and you\\u2019ll \\u201cBe in the Know.\\u201d This should be a must-see for any spy movie fan.\\xa0 Learn more about it as we decode THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD.

Many people love going to James Bond filming locations. Dan and Tom do as well. Many times, these locations are very cool.\\xa0 Sardinia, Italy is one such place \\u2013 simply beautiful and a destination which made the trip that much more fun!

Not everything went smoothly for them:\\xa0 Issues with their rental car, places that were closed for the season, and, hey, a balcony was missing \\u2013 all made the trip that much more memorable. That said, they got to all the sites and only needed a 2-night stay to do that.

For the most part, all the Jemes Bond filming locations are all fairly close to each other on Sardinia.\\xa0 The ferry dock in Palau is the farthest drive from the beaches and hotels from the movie and it is only about a 30-minute or so drive away. Everything else is closer together. \\xa0So, get the whole story and tune in!

The sites they talk about are:

• The hotel where James Bond and Agent XXX stay, using the pseudonym Mr. & Mrs. Sterling (in 2 bedrooms because Moneypenny was being overly efficient).\\xa0 This is also the place where they meet Naomi as she pulls up in the boat.

• The ferry dock where Q brings Bond the Lotus Espirit

• The church and village square where the motorcycle chase starts

• The pullout on the side of the road where Naomi pops up in the helicopter

• The pier where the Lotus plunges into the water

• The beach where the Lotus drives out of the water

They give you some tips about the area and what to look for when hunting these sites.

Uwe Brosamle Interview How to visit James Bond filming Locations!

One of the leading experts on traveling to James Bond filming locations worldwide joins us at Cracking the Code of Spy Movies for this amazing segment, our Uwe Brosamle interview! \\xa0\\xa0Uwe Brosamle estimates he\\u2019s traveled to over 80% of the James Bond filming locations - and he\\u2019s done it in just 10 years.

Most James Bond fans love discovering and visiting James Bond filming locations - and certainly, it is a passion for Dan and Tom - so it is great to talk with an expert on how to do it right.

Tips from Uwe Brosamle

In this fascinating interview, Uwe tells us how he tracks down the locations, meticulously plans his trips (this takes A LOT of time), and gives all of us some tips for planning these special trips which can save us all some serious time. It is great to be able to learn from an expert.

Uwe also talks about some of the challenges in getting into a location once he\\u2019s located it. He\\u2019s had to deal with renting boats, big dogs, trying to get onto private property, government property, and properties that are just hard to get to (expect that you will have long walks to get to some locations).\\xa0 Of course, he gives us some suggestions for dealing with these issues.

In his travels, he has come across many very helpful people.\\xa0 Often by accident.\\xa0 He tells some stories about these interactions, including one where he knocked on the door of a famous actress.\\xa0 She was most gracious.

Finally, Uwe talks about some of the artifacts he has found at filming locations.\\xa0 Apparently, after a shoot, let\\u2019s just say, clean-up isn\\u2019t quite thorough. That can work to a filming location traveler\\u2019s benefit!

So, have a listen and you\\u2019ll \\u201cBe in the Know\\u201d about traveling to James Bond filming locations!

GOLDFINGER - Oddjob Character Spotlight, played by Harold Sakata

GOLDFINGER - Oddjob Character Spotlight: Today we dig deeply into the character of Oddjob\\xa0 in GOLDFINGER - superbly and memorably played by Harold Sakata!

GOLDFINGER set the standard for the James Bond formula. Oddjob is a character that must be placed in our Character Spotlight, as Harold Sakata\\u2019s portrayal of Oddjob is flawless.

Yes, he\'s one of the James Bond series most notorious henchman, he doesn\'t speak, and he\'ll do anything so support his boss, Auric Goldfinger. So, how does Harold Sakata make sure you, the audience member, knows he\'s menacing? Sakata\'s portrayal of Oddjob gives us an excellent example as to how this should be done.

We look at the various expressions Harold Sakata uses in different scenes in GOLDFINGER. In addition, we\'ll talk through how they gave us the first look at Oddjob. Just like the slow reveal of new James Bond actors or the first time we see Quarrel in Dr. No, Oddjob doesn\'t just appear on the screen front and center. It is a powerful way to introduce us to this important character.

Plus, we talk about some of the differences between Oddjob\'s portrayal in the movie GOLDFINGER versus how he\'s portrayed in Ian Fleming\'s novel.

Finally, we discuss Harold Sakata\'s background and why he was a great choice to play Oddjob. And was there a bet involved in helping him get the role?

Join Dan and Tom as they discover THE TRAITORS, a 1962 British B Spy Movie. Does it make the Grade?

Low budget B movies were made, for the most part, to be the second billing on double features. Low-budget doesn\'t necessarily mean a bad movie. In this episode we dive into THE TRAITORS without giving away the movie.

UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Decoded!

Join Dan and Tom as they bring you UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Decoded!\\xa0 The 2002 movie UNDERCOVER BROTHER is a spy movie that they\\u2019ve been wanting to decode for a while. It is very wacky but very racially focused. Some might call it a blaxploitation spoof movie.

They look at this movie, in part, against the backdrop of the recent announcements that the Ian Fleming books are being rereleased and rewritten to remove \'offensive\' text. UNDERCOVER BROTHER has many racial jokes against both black and white people. There are even some words that are considered offensive to some people. So, does this movie need to be censored as Flemings books are?

Steven Saltzman Interview - Steven talks James Bond and more

Steven Saltzman Interview.

In honor of the 60^th anniversary of James Bond movies, and to get a unique perspective on the making of the first 9 James Bond movies, we invited a very special guest, Steven Saltzman, to join us today! So join us now for this very special and exclusive Steven Saltzman interview!

Steven had a unique childhood as he grew up as the James Bond franchise blossomed. He got to see the movies made and knew the cast and crew, and their children. How? Well, Steven is the son of Harry Saltzman and was a child when the Bond series started. Harry Saltzman co-produced the first nine Eon Productions James Bond movies. He also produced the first three Harry Palmer movies THE IPCRESS FILE, FUNERAL IN BERLIN,\\xa0and BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN.

Hear Steven Saltzman talk about being on the sets of those early Bond movies, how the family we always hear about in the Bond movies works, how he made some extra money in high school because of his James Bond connection, and many more fun stories of the James Bond world.

Harry Palmer

And of course we talked about the Harry Palmer movies his father produced. And, we talk a bit about the THE IPCRESS FILE television series that was released in Spring of 2022, for which Steven was an Executive Producer.

We have an episode with Steven about the THE IPCRESS FILE series in our March 13, 2022 podcast episode. However, that interview was recorded in between the UK and US releases. We had to couch what we said in order to not give anything away. Now, Steven is able to give us a producer\'s insight in delivering a show for both the UK and US audiences. There are some things you, the audience member sitting in your own country, probably wouldn\'t think of. However, the producers must think about these things, as there are cultural differences.

What\'s Next?

We also discuss some of the projects Steven is working on now. He even gives us a scoop!

So, join us for this fun Steven Saltzman interview. He gives us the elephants (listen to find out what that means).

Hitchcock spy movie techniques with Tony Lee Moral

Do you want to understand the Alfred Hitchcock spy movie techniques? Tony Lee Moral returns to discuss his new book "The Young Alfred Hitchcock\'s Movie Making Masterclass". His book teaches you Hitchcock\'s process of making a movie. We discuss these techniques with Tony and apply them to how Hitch used them in making his spy movies.

Some of the topics we examine are how Hitchcock pionered "the wrongfully accused man", the double chase (or double pursuit), using exotic locations, suave villains, how action and fight scenes are filmed, and of course the MacGuffin, and more. As an example, we look at the Hitchcock quote about spies: \\u201cheroes in their own country and villains in the foreign country\\u201d and look at how he used this idea in his spy movies.

In addition to looking at where Hitchcock used these techniques, we also discuss where other spy movies have used some of these techniques.

It\'s an interesting discussion looking at our favorite movie genre through the lens of the master director. Find out what movies use the Hitchcock spy movie techniques.

You can order Tony\'s book here on Amazon or here on Barnes and Noble.

Richard Maibaum Papers - James Bond - Curator Interview

Richard Maibaum Papers at the University of Iowa

Richard Maibaum, who\\xa0wrote\\xa0many of the James Bond movie screenplays, donated his papers to the University of Iowa. Pete Balestrieri is the curator for Science Fiction and Pop Culture at the University of Iowa Library.

Join Dan and Tom as they have a discussion with Pete on the Richard Maibaum Papers. This collection includes a large selection of Maibaum\'s working materials he used to write 13 James Bond movies. Pete shares his insights into many topics on the development of the movies. For instance, he talks about Sean Connery\'s thoughts on the role of Pussy Galore in Goldfinger and what Richard Maibaum did because of those thoughts.

One fascinating part of the collection is the research folders. These contain articles that Maibaum clipped out on a variety of topics he researched for plot points. For instance, there is an article on blimps which he clipped out 3 years before A View To A Kill came out.

But, to us, probably the most interesting part of the collection are the treatments that Maibaum wrote. These are the stories before they are turned into screenplays. As a result, you get to see how the story evolves, sometimes dramatically.It is very cool to read a movie\'s treatments and see the evolution of the movie\'s story.

It\'s not just James Bond

Another key point of the disucssion is that the James Bond materials are only part of the collection. Richard Maibaum wrote many other movies and plays. While you are there you can see some of Maibaum\'s notes on his other projects including includes OSS, The Great Gatsby, and Tank Force.

Pete discusses the collection, how you can see it and other collections they have at the Library such as the papers from Norman Felton who produced The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

This is a wide-ranging, fun discussion. Pete knows his movie and shares his passion for them in this interview.

Alfred Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES Decoded

Alfred Hitchcock\'s The Lady Vanishes was released in 1938 and is based, in part, on the book "The Wheel Spins". It has been remade three times for the big screen and television.

As the title implies, a lady vanishes while on a train. This movie is full of intrigue and is a fantastic spy story. So, once again, a train is a key location for a spy movie and here, it is vital for the story. Music is also a key piece to this movie as well. Listen to find out more!

The Lady Vanishes has more humor than most Hitchcock movies. And, the characters Charters and Caldicott appear in this movie for comic relief. They were so successful that they appeared in other movies in the future.

An interesting trivia question is asked about one of the actors in this episode! See if you know the answer!

So, join Dan and Tom as they decode The Lady Vanishes: Plot and scene analysis, new discoveries, and what movies had this movie influenced or how it was influenced by other spy movies. It is a fun journey!

Dr. No's Impact On The James Bond Franchise

Celebrating Dr. No\'s 60th Anniversry

Dr. No\'s impact on the James Bond franchise is tremendous. This movie started the James Bond franchise for movie fans 60 years ago. Additionally, it set the stage for the all of the James Bond movies that followed. It even helped shape future non-Bond spy movies. So, join us as we celebrate Dr. No\'s anniversary by taking a look at how it shaped what we see in the franchise going forward.

We start where the movie starts with the gun barrel sequence and continue on through the music, the classic line "Bond, James Bond", the humor, the gadgets, the exotic locations, the great poster\'s like this Mitchell Hooks\' poster for Dr. No, and much, much more. Then, of course, we look at Sean Connery. We see how he established the character of James Bond while initiating the role.

What hooked you?

So, which item that premiered in Dr. No hooked you on James Bond? Was it the Walther PPK, the Bond Girls, the villains, the chases, the martini\'s and the finer things in life? We discuss all of these things that showcase Dr. No\'s impact on the franchise.

What\'s missing in Dr. No that we see in later James Bond movies? Well, the pre-title sequence and the DB5 come in movies that followed Dr. No. Of course, we talk about that too.

What do you think of Dr. No\'s Impact on the franchise?

Once you\'ve listened please give us feedback. Do you disagree with anything we\'ve called out? Did we miss anything? Is there something we called out that you wish the movie didn\'t have? To give us feedback, You can leave us a voice mail message on our website or send us an email at info@spymovienavigator.com. We\'d love to hear your thoughts. Undoubtedly you\'ll have some.
