"You Only Live Twice opened in UK cinemas 50 years ago today (on the 13th in America), and to celebrate the release of the biggest Bond of all Cinema Retro's September issue pays tribute to this cinematic extravaganza with a 32-page 'Film in Focus' special. Apart from Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury's interview with Nancy Sinatra (a rare in-print interview about her involvement with the film), we feature many rare and never-seen-before stills and behind-the-scenes photos, features on props and collectibles, and exclusive interviews with Karin Dor, Leslie Bricusse, Julie Rogers (the singer who was originally contracted to record the title song) and Mark Cerulli catches up with Tsai Chin for her memories of the film. And that's not all - Bond composer David Arnold discusses how the music to You Only Live Twice changed his life forever, and we have an exclusive interview with the late Ken Wallis, the creator of the Little Nellie gyrocopter, who discusses the helicopter accident (with photos) that caused cameraman John Jordan to lose his foot; plus Raymond Benson meets 'Bond Girls' Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama, and Peter Lamont explains the logistics of building the massive volcano set. A not-to-be-missed issue!

Pretty much the ultimate evolution of the James Bond Movie, certainly for the Connery run.
Very little of tracking down Blofeld makes sense, from the Little Nellie recon sequence (Hey, now everybody knows where everybody is) to making Bond Japanese (Huh? Just, huh?)
Training Bond as a ninja makes sense in that the entire commando team would be other ninjas- you want them all speaking the same language, tactics-wise.
But from Blofeld's scar to the hollowed out volcano, the very epitome of delightfully over-the-top action movie.
Of the two re-makes (TSWLM and MR), I think MR compares quite favorably.
