Hardcore Bond fans are likely familiar, but if you aren’t, this may be a fun bit of trivia…. In 1962’s Dr. No, while held captive in his villainous host’s lair, Bond spots a famous painting (Goya’s Duke of Wellington) that had been stolen in real life in ...
I am a huge Bond nerd, thanks for this post. The painting, Woman with a Fan, illustrates how Spectre brought Skyfall and the Daniel Craig era full circle.
Also, I called this post “Bond, stolen art detective,” but on second thought I should have called it “Bond, stolen art destroyer,” since in both films he blows up the villain’s lair and the priceless art with it….
That the same artwork was used in the 1999 film Entrapment, featuring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones as art thieves! These thieves are obviously selfish but I can't deny some of these thieves have great taste!
Will the next Bond feature a stolen Nautilus? Quite possible! Or an NFT? LOLLL The only problem: Bond is dead now, isn't he? So there can only be one next male or female 007 in the future?
