Ian Fleming: 007’s Creator 2000 on netflix

John Cork and his compatriots from the Ian Fleming Foundation, who have created outstanding documentaries for most of MGM’s 007 DVDs, provide a fine overview of the life and times of James Bond’s creator. Rather than using voice-over narrative, Cork and company tell this story entirely through the recollections of Fleming’s family, friends and colleagues, combining new interviews with archival footage (including conversations with Fleming himself).
