Of course, both were upstaged by bikini clad Ursula Andress as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Honey Ryder\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>The low-budget film, directed by Terrence Young and produced for only 1.2 million dollars, was a blockbuster hit and had one of the first classic car chase scenes. Bond drives a Sunbeam Alpine, just like Grace Kelly did earlier in <em>To Catch a Thief<\/em>. Interestingly, the location production manager was one Chris Blackwell, who would go on to found Island Records and acquire Ian Fleming\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Goldeneye beach home at the film\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Jamaica location. Blackwell&#8217;s mother was Fleming\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s later life lover and muse.<\/p>\n<p><em>Skyfall<\/em> is the latest (and 23rd) in the James Bond franchise and stars Daniel Craig. It opened last week to delayed but successful receipts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DR.
