THE FIRST FOUR CONNERY BOND FILMS BEHIND-THE-SCENES SCREENINGS
presented by Arlen Schumer
You've WATCHED the first four Sean Connery James Bond films for over 60 years—now SEE them for the FIRST time!
--------------------------- DR.NO -------------------------------
In this first of a 4-month series at The Triad, join pop culture historian Arlen Schumer (author/designer, The Silver Age of Comic Book Art and The Five Themes of The Twilight Zone) as he introduces you first to a behind-the-scenes look at 1962’s DR. NO, the first Connery Bond film, that will include hard to find behind-the-scenes production photos, rare promotional materials, advertising and documentary films (often shot by Bond crew members themselves), followed by a screening of the Blu-ray edition of DR. NO via The Triad’s brand-new high-definition projection system with 12.1 Surround Sound!
So you'll not only "see" DR. NO in a fresh, new light, but, through Schumer’s acute commentary and keen insight, you'll also appreciate it anew in the context of its times, as the beginning of the modern action film, and part and parcel of the creative pop culture explosion that was the 1960s! You'll learn:
• How former bodybuilder and newcomer to the silver screen, the Scottish Sean Connery, got the coveted role of the iconic British secret service agent!
• Why the director of the film, Terence Young, is perhaps more responsible for the shaping of the cinematic version of Bond than his literary creator, Ian Fleming!
• Why–and how—a Caucasian actor portrayed the Asian Dr. No!
• And MORE
Approx Running Time: 3 Hours
Genre: Screening, Commentary, Surround Sound
Please Note: the venue has a 2-beverage minimum per person.
