A fast-paced look at Hollywood's best-loved secret agents, from the sophisticated James Bond to the psychedelic Austin Powers!
Hollywood's stylish super-agents, dangerous seductresses and lethal weapons have been thrilling movie audiences around the world for nearly a century. Narrator Patrick Macnee (John Steed of The Avengers) goes under cover with film's best-loved spies and exposes their most daring adventures.
As seen on American Movie Classics, this investigation into the spy mystique features highlights from classic espionage films and television. Hollywood Spies on Spies focuses on the ultimate secret agent - James Bond - and Bond-mania with an examination of the films, the gadgetry and the memorabilia. Macnee also takes a chilling look at spies at war in suspense-filled classics like The House on 92nd Street and 13 Rue Madeline, moving into the present with the terrifying high-tech possibilities of Enemy of the State. Among the highlights, we take a peek at the sexy '60s female superspies Modesty Blaise and Honey West making the world safe for swingers while Casino Royale, Our Man Flint and the Austin Powers films judo-flip the genre upside-down!
A must have for all spy buffs and movie fans.
