James Garner was born on this day in 1928.
He brought real military experience to the role of Hendley in The Great Escape (1963). He was a Korean War veteran who served as a scrounger himself and earned two Purple Hearts. Effortless, electric. Incredible.

Not a problem solver, more of a problem eliminator. Happy birthday to Timothy Dalton.

Truly an end of an era!

We’re very sad to hear of the passing of legendary spy novelist Len Deighton, author of THE IPCRESS FILE.
He was a key figure in redefining the spy genre in the 1960s with a colder, more grounded take on espionage.
A true giant of the spy fiction.

THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) — the spy film that put Michael Caine on the map and gave 007 a run for his money.
With the passing of Len Deighton, now feels like the perfect time to revisit it.
But is it the best non-Bond spy film of the ’60s?

The name on everybody’s lips.
Can you guess how many times Bond was said in LICENCE TO KILL?
