This should be a pretty easy quiz for 007 fans, but it might be more challenging for others. Since we specialize in pre-1985 films at the Cafe, you won't find many questions about the Dalton, Brosnan, and Craig movies. As always, please don't answer more than 3-4 questions daily, so others can play, too.

2. The Avengers, Patrick McNee, Diana Rigg, Joanna Lumley.
ReplyDelete16. Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Moonraker.
7. Sheena Easton.
Thanks, David, for getting this quiz off to a fine start!
Delete2. Oops, Honor Blackman, Ms. Lumley was New Avengers.
ReplyDelete3. Albert R. Broccoli and the vegetable broccoli. 5. Thunderball. 20. Lotte Lenya played Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love and was mentioned in the song Mack the Knife.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Toto! I didn't word No. 5 very well; I should have specified "adapted for film or TV." One Bond fits that criteria.
Delete5. Casino Royal, tv version with Barry Nelson, and two films.
ReplyDeleteDavid, you are correct. I didn't think Barry made a very good Bond--but he was the first.
DeleteI am not a James Bond fan – it's just not my thing. I took the quiz anyway, hoping I would get one answer right. And I did! Am feeling very proud of myself for scoring 5% on this quiz. :)
ReplyDelete7. Never Say Never Again
ReplyDelete15. Charles Grey, British agent in You Only Live Twice, Blofeld in Diamonds are Forever.
Right on both counts! Charles Gray was also great in THE DEVIL RIDES OUT.
Delete9. Persian at
ReplyDelete13. "Of course you are."
18. Moonraker
Well done! Very impressive with the MOONRAKER answers.
Delete12. You Only Live Twice (fake), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (for real)
Delete14. I'm pretty sure he first appeared in From Russia With Love, though you don't see his face, just the kitty cat.
and no one's answered 16 yet, which is Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever (my favorite of the three), and Moonraker.
(I can answer a couple more, as I'm a big James Bond fan, but didn't want to monopolize the answers!)
Delete8. Ingrid Pitt
ReplyDelete6. One million dollars
#6 is correct. There was a Hammer star in OHMSS in a bit part.
Delete10. Goldfinger, the Mastersons.
ReplyDelete19. George Lazenby
#10 is correct. Although some sources list George as not wearing a hat, I believe he did.
Delete19. You're right, Roger Moore in Live and Let Die.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was Roger!
DeleteA quick recap: 1, 4, and 8 are still unanswered.
ReplyDelete4. A View to a Kill.
ReplyDeleteVery good. "Live and Let Die" and "Nobody Does It Better" peaked at No. 2.
Delete4. Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey)
ReplyDeleteGreat guess, but it peaked at No. 8 on Billboard. See answer above.
Delete8. Eunice Gayson in Dr. No?
ReplyDeleteShe was certainly the first Hammer actress in a Bond film. I was going for a Hammer leading lady with a bit part in OHMSS.
ReplyDelete8. Julie Ege, she was in some Hammer dino flick I think.
ReplyDeleteMost impressive! Yes, Julie was the leading lady in two Hammer flicks: CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT and THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES.
Delete1. Neither referenced the name of the film it represented.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's true that neither tune that has the movie title in the song's name. Another connection is that Burt Bacharach, wrote the music to "The Look of Love" (from CASINO ROYALE) was once married to Carole Bayer Sager, who wrote the lyrics to "Nobody Does It Better."
DeleteWow, that's right. Great quiz, as always, thanks.
