In Shooting 007, beloved cameraman and director of photography Alec Mills, a
veteran of seven James Bond movies, tells the inside story of his twenty years
of filming cinema’s most famous secret agent. Among many humorous and touching
anecdotes, Mills reveals how he became an integral part of the Bond family as
a young camera operator on 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,
how he bore the brunt of his old friend Roger Moore’s legendary on-set
bantering, and how he rose to become the director of photography during Timothy
Dalton’s tenure as 007.
Mills also looks back on a career that took
in Return of the Jedi on film and The Saint on television with
wit and affection,
and Shooting 007 contains many of his and Eon Productions’ unpublished
behind-the-scenes photographs compiled over a lifetime of filmmaking.
Featuring many of the film industry’s biggest names, this
book will be a must-have for both the James Bond and British
film history aficionado.
