| Has anybody seen this movie?....It stars Charles dance as Fleming, have to say i wasn't aware of it. I know Jason connery did a similar movie about the life of Fleming.

| Yeah, got a DVD of it that was a giveaway with a newspaper once. It's quite entertaining. |

| Looks like it's on YouTube, so I'll have to give it a watch. Charles Dance is always great and, on face value, an inspired choice to play Fleming. Every other actor I've seen play Fleming to date has looked wrong. |

| There's his henchman part in FYEO, of course. And he turned down the chance to screen-test for Bond himself in the early Eighties on his agent's advice ... he's admitted that he hadn't 'nearly enough experience' back then and would've 'fucked it up' anyway. |

| 'Goldeneye' came a little closer to Fleming's real story than Spymaker did, but still paid too much lip service to the films, as if seeing a man stroking a white cat gave Fleming the idea for Blofeld, for example. |
