Speaker 1: It's n side with Dan Ray. I'm w BESI cast
Speaker 1: in some new video.
Speaker 2: Every time I hear this, I just tingle. I don't
Speaker 2: know why. I don't worry because I am a huge
Speaker 2: James barn fan and this music, a collaboration of John
Speaker 2: Berry and Martin Norman, is mint five stars across the board.
Speaker 3: Yes, Morgan, I'm just gonna say that the gentleman who
Speaker 3: played that guitar is a very famous British guitarist named
Speaker 3: Vic Flick, who I believe passed away in the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. So it's that's a nice tribute to him,
Speaker 3: that guitar riff. Interestingly, John Barry, the primary composer of
Speaker 3: the James Bond theme, never saw the first James Bond
Speaker 3: movie before he composed that. That guitar thing so so crazy.
Speaker 2: He never realized how he nailed it.
Speaker 3: He nailed it, Boy, didn't nail it.
Speaker 4: He did.
Speaker 3: He had a little instrumental. He had a little instrumental
Speaker 3: called Bee's Knees which also featured a similar type of
Speaker 3: guitar riff, which he just adjusted to create.
Speaker 5: The Bond And Interestingly, tonight, I would argue that the
Speaker 5: two themes we played James Bond and the Twilight Zone
Speaker 5: would probably be the two most recognizable themes on the planet.
Speaker 2: Well, when you say Twilight Zone, is it the do
Speaker 2: do do?
Speaker 6: Do?
Speaker 2: Do do do? Twilight Zone? Yes, let's take a call Marcus,
Speaker 2: who's kind enough to hold through the news. Thank you
Speaker 2: for your patience, Welcome to Night's Side.
Speaker 7: Yes, thank you, thank you. The Twilight Zone. Yes, I
Speaker 7: was a huge fan a long time, and there was
Speaker 7: so many different episodes, some that kept you sitting.
Speaker 2: In your chair thrilled and others.
Speaker 7: That had you laughing. And there was an episode with
Speaker 7: an older gentleman who had a convenience store and he
Speaker 7: had a few other gentlemens with him, and he would
Speaker 7: always tell these tall tales that he invented this, invented that.
Speaker 7: I think that was one of the most funniest episodes
Speaker 7: I've ever seen on The Twilight Zone. And I think
Speaker 7: they called this. His name was Frisbee and he was
Speaker 7: abducted by aliens and the aliens wanted to take him
Speaker 7: away and he played a harmonica which got him off
Speaker 7: the ship because the harmonica was actually affecting him in
Speaker 7: a way where it would neutralize it. But that was
Speaker 7: the most funniest episode I ever saw in the Twilight Zone.
Speaker 3: And that actor, that actor was the wonderful and and
Speaker 3: the divine whose performance was divine.
Speaker 7: Yes, I've seen all the twilets on episodes, but once
Speaker 7: I saw that, I never laughed so hard. The the
Speaker 7: other ones had me uh biting my nails. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 7: my goodness, this is really scary.
Speaker 2: And I was very young, and Andyne was all over
Speaker 2: the TV landscape in the fifties and sixties. He was
Speaker 2: second build in a show called wild Bill Hiccock. He
Speaker 2: was in Stagecoach, the classic John Wayne movie, and he
Speaker 2: was all over the landscape.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes, there was so many different actors and
Speaker 7: the actresses that were coming up in the Twilight Zone
Speaker 7: or in the Outer Limits thole series. But there was
Speaker 7: another episode on Twilight Zone. I forget her name, but
Speaker 7: there was another actor. He was very well known where
Speaker 7: he was going into space. He had met a woman
Speaker 7: and he was an astronaut, and I guess he was
Speaker 7: being put into space for a little time, but he
Speaker 7: was frozen in the capsule and he came back in
Speaker 7: the aged like thirty years. But she still stayed young.
Speaker 7: Everybody else stayed young.
Speaker 8: And he was.
Speaker 7: Going to marry her, but he didn't marry because he
Speaker 7: got so old he didn't think he was worthy.
Speaker 3: I got their name. That actor was Robert Lansing. The
Speaker 3: young lady was Marriette Hartley. The episode I believe was
Speaker 3: called The Long Marra The Long Morrow, and it was
Speaker 3: one of those ironic episodes.
Speaker 2: Most of them are ironic.
Speaker 3: In fact, Rod would say that one of his biggest
Speaker 3: influences was the short fiction of All Henry, which always
Speaker 3: had a twist at the end, which I thought was wonderful.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, very very very well at the team. The
Speaker 7: uh the actress, she was very beautiful. She was in
Speaker 7: so many different shows. And I remember she.
Speaker 2: Was the girl in those cute Polaroid commercials with James Garner.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 2: Marion Hartley. Alright, I'm gonna let you go. Gross lines
Speaker 2: are fall.
Speaker 7: Yes, thank you again, thank you, thank you for calling.
Speaker 2: And I'm at the position where Rob I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: my break a little early. If I took a call now,
Speaker 2: i'd have to put them on homes for a minute.
Speaker 2: So let's take a break. Gary and Marlborough you will
Speaker 2: be next. And Michael in Boston. You'll be after Gary.
Speaker 2: Whoever takes that open line will be third to speak with.
Speaker 2: Stephen J. Rubin off of many, many books, and we're
Speaker 2: focusing on two of them, Twilight Zone and James Bond.
Speaker 2: Time here on night Side nine thirteen Temperature twenty five.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World,
Speaker 1: Night six Studios on w BZ News Radio.
Speaker 9: Gold.
Speaker 10: He's the man, the man with a mine touch, aspidest touch,
Speaker 10: such a cold PingER.
Speaker 1: T you to enter his win love sin.
Speaker 2: She's just gonna tell you don't go in.
Speaker 9: Don't go in.
Speaker 2: I knew it. I knew it all right, Rob, you
Speaker 2: can find it down. That's the movie, the movie that
Speaker 2: brought James Bond's popularity to its zenith. And Stephen J.
Speaker 2: Rubin is here. And and Stephen, before I take another
Speaker 2: phone call, capsulize the power of James Bond.
Speaker 3: James Bond is the hero of the Free World who
Speaker 3: has not changed his spots in sixty plus years. He's
Speaker 3: still a human being. Sometimes he has a few too
Speaker 3: many gadgets, particularly in the Roger Moore years, but under
Speaker 3: Craig Stewardship in the last fifteen years, he was terrific
Speaker 3: although the movies were a little bit up and down,
Speaker 3: but Bond is Bond because the quality has always been
Speaker 3: pretty terrific. There's always good things to find in a
Speaker 3: James Bond film.
Speaker 2: Now I've got a tippy toe around this, and Gary
Speaker 2: Marlborough be patron. I'll get to you in about a minute.
Speaker 2: You and I both know the last film. We have
Speaker 2: to tipy toe about what we say. How are they
Speaker 2: going to bring up another James Bond with the consideration
Speaker 2: of that movie?
Speaker 3: You know, that's a really good question. I think that
Speaker 3: they've been rebooting Bond since nineteen sixty nine, you know,
Speaker 3: little George Lazenbee replaced some Sean Connery and then of
Speaker 3: the various Bonds. There'll be no problems. They'll just reboot it.
Speaker 3: It'll be you know, if you remember the first Daniel
Speaker 3: Craig film, Casino Royale, it was like he just got
Speaker 3: his double O seven number. So they played fast and loose.
Speaker 3: Every franchise series that has run as long as Bond
Speaker 3: and from very few have has to go through changes. Batman, Superman.
Speaker 3: I mean they're introducing a new Superman this year, this
Speaker 3: coming year. They all have to go through this and
Speaker 3: that's just part of it. But I'm sure they'll they'll
Speaker 3: come up smelling like a rose because Bond, like death
Speaker 3: and taxes, will always be with us.
Speaker 2: Okay, when you mentioned he's super h I like what
Speaker 2: they did with the Spider Man movie that had all
Speaker 2: three actors in one movie and it made sense within
Speaker 2: the plot.
Speaker 3: It was a very nice touch. I agree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to mam Borrow and speak to Gary. Gary,
Speaker 2: thank you for your patience. Welcome to Night's Side.
Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing all right?
Speaker 8: Steven?
Speaker 4: I have a question for you. I want to talk
Speaker 4: about the Twilight Zone for a second. Was correct me
Speaker 4: if I'm wrong? But wasn't there an episode with Sonny Bono?
Speaker 4: He portrayed a like a beatnik. He's in a jazz
Speaker 4: music that Do you remember that one at all?
Speaker 3: It's an episode where he he does something bad and
Speaker 3: then he goes to his particular form of hell and
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember the name of it, but it's uh,
Speaker 3: you know, actually, you know what you know? I don't
Speaker 3: think it was a Twilight its own episode. I think
Speaker 3: it was an episode of the Night Gallery.
Speaker 4: Really, you know, because all these years, you know, I'm
Speaker 4: in my seventies and all these years I've been thinking
Speaker 4: it was Sonny Bono on The Twilight Zone. That's why
Speaker 4: I'm calling, because I need verification.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people misunderstood The Night Gallery because yes,
Speaker 2: rud Serling hosted it, but had little to do with
Speaker 2: the plots and the writing and the concept of that series.
Speaker 3: No, it was It was a Jack Laird series, and
Speaker 3: he had rod. It was simply a hired gun. He
Speaker 3: wrote a few episodes which are terrific, and he hosted
Speaker 3: and those evocative openings were terrific. But the quality of
Speaker 3: the of the Night Gallery was really up and down.
Speaker 3: There were there were a lot of shows that were clunkers.
Speaker 2: And the Sonny Bono episode you're thinking of could have
Speaker 2: been from the and from Uncle. We're both he and
Speaker 2: share We're in that episode.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure, pretty sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Needles and Pins was the man from Uncle
Speaker 2: episode the Needles and Pins affair. All right, Gary, I
Speaker 2: guess that's it. Thank you, Gary, Good night, Happy holidays,
Speaker 2: Happy holidays. Let's go to Boston and speak to Michael. Michael.
Speaker 2: Welcome Tonight's sorry, thank you, good evening.
Speaker 11: No one ever talks about money.
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 11: You do a lot of interviews Morgan, celebrities and so forth,
Speaker 11: and no one ever mentioned the money. Uh, it's not
Speaker 11: the right thing to do. I would never say to Morgan,
Speaker 11: what's his paycheck? I mean, he's ut of my damn business.
Speaker 2: Of course, monopoly money.
Speaker 11: We're going to believe that we're going back sixty years
Speaker 11: and these celebrities are no longer with us, unfortunately. But
Speaker 11: I'd like to ask the gentleman that has written the
Speaker 11: literature of what did it cost to produce an episode
Speaker 11: of the Twilight Zone back in the sixties. What was
Speaker 11: Rod Serling's take? What did he get for writing a
Speaker 11: script and the hosting jors? And what did a star
Speaker 11: you've mentioned dozens of them tonight get. I imagine it
Speaker 11: was a set amount for doing a Twilight Zone anybody.
Speaker 2: His name is Stephen J. Rubin, remember that name, And
Speaker 2: after your call, we're gonna let everyone know what company
Speaker 2: puts his books out. But Steven, do you have answers
Speaker 2: to any of those questions?
Speaker 3: Well, let's start with the actress first, because I was
Speaker 3: very fortunate to collaborate with Rod Sterling's widow, Carol, the
Speaker 3: late Carol Serling, now and she opened the files to me.
Speaker 3: I saw all the contracts for what the actors made
Speaker 3: top of show. For the lead actor in a twilight
Speaker 3: Zone in those days from fifty nine to sixty four
Speaker 3: was five thousand dollars. That's all they made for a
Speaker 3: leading role. So Jack Klugman in a game of Pool,
Speaker 3: he's making five thousand, you know, Cliff Robertson in the
Speaker 3: in the Dummy, he's making five thousand. Writing wise, you know,
Speaker 3: back at those days, I don't have the figures for
Speaker 3: writing right in front of me, but a few thousand
Speaker 3: dollars was what they got for those scripts. And Rod
Speaker 3: also took some extra money for doing the ads. And
Speaker 3: that was a lot of the reason that Rod did,
Speaker 3: as he wanted to make some extra money because he
Speaker 3: wasn't getting rich off of his screenwriting fees. Although he
Speaker 3: did own the show. He's owned the show with CBS,
Speaker 3: so he was able to make a chunk of money
Speaker 3: later on, but nothing like the money we would think
Speaker 3: of today now.
Speaker 11: Was that ownership Cayuga Productions.
Speaker 3: Was that his Yeah, his company was Cayuga you know
Speaker 3: the the he split the proceeds with CPS. And then
Speaker 3: I guess because he wanted to take the money and run.
Speaker 3: When he had an opportunity to sell his share of
Speaker 3: the series later on, he sold it for some very
Speaker 3: modest figure, something like two hundred and fifty thousand or
Speaker 3: something like that. Show that today would be worth millions.
Speaker 11: Oh, mister Irvin. Were there residuals then.
Speaker 3: That's another very good question. There were no residuals then,
Speaker 3: although during the strikes of nineteen sixty I believe they
Speaker 3: started to talk about residuals. I think maybe for the
Speaker 3: last couple of seasons there may have been some residuals,
Speaker 3: but that was back in the fifties. There were no
Speaker 3: visuals as far as I know, I might be wrong.
Speaker 11: And do you know what an entire episode would cost
Speaker 11: in those days?
Speaker 3: In those days twice episode twiletsone episode was made for
Speaker 3: about a quarter million dollars, a little bit up up
Speaker 3: for the locations, a little bit below that for some
Speaker 3: of the ones that are shot on the lot, but
Speaker 3: they were very inex expensive compared to other shows. The
Speaker 3: thing though about The Twilight Zone also, which was an anthology,
Speaker 3: is they had to get new actors each week, so
Speaker 3: whereas the actors in a regular show would probably be
Speaker 3: asking for raises every season or so that didn't have
Speaker 3: a that There was no problem like that on the
Speaker 3: Twilight Zone because we had a new past each week.
Speaker 2: Sure, all right, Michael, you're all say thank you, thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you havingday. And before I take my button with
Speaker 2: the hour break, I'm going to go off script with you.
Speaker 2: Rod Serling also had a Western that starred Lloyd Bridges,
Speaker 2: The Loaner. Tell me about The Loaner if.
Speaker 3: You can, well, all I can tell you is that Rod,
Speaker 3: being the innovative type writer, wanted to do a Western
Speaker 3: series that was not about violence. The Loaner was a
Speaker 3: guy who did not solve all of his problems with guns,
Speaker 3: and hence the show completely bombed. I think when people
Speaker 3: tune in westerns they want the gun play.
Speaker 2: In those days, because I think that was what the
Speaker 2: sixty three sixty four TV season. And with Lloyd Bridges
Speaker 2: the lead, you had a major actor. And Lloyd Bridges
Speaker 2: had just come off the success of Sea Hunt right,
Speaker 2: a long running series, and he's playing a character. I
Speaker 2: think the character's name was Colton Will Colton, and he's
Speaker 2: a loneery he wanders like most westerns in those days.
Speaker 2: Your hero was nomadic, wandered from town to town to
Speaker 2: town to town. But I don't think I can remember
Speaker 2: more than one or two episodes where he even drew
Speaker 2: his gun, right, which is what what most people watched
Speaker 2: for back from the fifties and sixties.
Speaker 3: Morgan, It's like when I worked on a three D
Speaker 3: three D movie in the eighties called Space Hunter Adventures
Speaker 3: in the Forbidden Zone with Peter Strauss and Molly Ringwolds.
Speaker 3: The filmmakers wanted to do subtle three D. They didn't
Speaker 3: want to poke your eyes out every two minutes. And
Speaker 3: that was a problem because if people put on those
Speaker 3: stupid glasses, they want to have something coming at them
Speaker 3: every two minutes.
Speaker 2: They wanted like they had seen it in you know,
Speaker 2: a three Stooges short film, fifties movies, six, these movies,
Speaker 2: and they wanted to be smacked in the face with
Speaker 2: the pie basically, and you didn't do that. How was
Speaker 2: it working with Molly Ringwald? Have fun?
Speaker 3: Two years later, I was assigned to do the publicity
Speaker 3: on Pretty and Pink. Oh Okay, b Ye had grown
Speaker 3: up considerably. She was actually a very nice kid. I
Speaker 3: liked her all right.
Speaker 2: Well, let me take my bottom of the hour, break
Speaker 2: open lines. You can talk about Bond, any aspect of
Speaker 2: a Bond movie or Twilight Zone, as we've done for
Speaker 2: her ninety minutes. Here a night side six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four teen, thirty eight, eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten, thirty, time,
Speaker 2: nine thirty twenty five degrees.
Speaker 1: With Dan Ray on w B Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Nobody does said makes me feel sad for.
Speaker 10: Nobody does it?
Speaker 2: Hey, that's gonnass you babebyon the I wasn't looking. What's
Speaker 2: somehow you found?
Speaker 11: All right?
Speaker 2: Rob, you can fade it down. Carly Simon doing the
Speaker 2: Spy Who Loved Me? Theme song? Steven, do you ever
Speaker 2: just play a Bond song or put in a Bond
Speaker 2: movie just for the heck of it?
Speaker 3: All the time. We've been celebrating Goldfinger all week. It's
Speaker 3: on my podcast starting Monday. I interviewed Graham Raye, who's
Speaker 3: the editor of Double seven magazine, a very respected periodical.
Speaker 3: But Goldfinger turned sixty years old this holiday, so we're
Speaker 3: celebrating a series that this is one of its milestones,
Speaker 3: sixty years since, as you point out the height of
Speaker 3: Bond fever.
Speaker 2: Let me ask this and then I'll I'll take Ted
Speaker 2: and Millis to be pature for another minute. Sean Conry
Speaker 2: is number one across the board, no doubt every Bond
Speaker 2: fan would put him as number one, rate two, three,
Speaker 2: four and five for me of the men that have
Speaker 2: played James Bond.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the only thing I would disagree
Speaker 3: with you is not every Bond fan considers Don the best.
Speaker 3: Because if you're younger and you did not grow up
Speaker 3: with Sean, you have your personal favorites axiomatic that if
Speaker 3: you grew up with a Bond, he you're Bond. So
Speaker 3: you'd be surprised how many people tell me that Roger
Speaker 3: Moore is their favorite Bond, or Pierce Brock their favorite Bond. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but in terms of the Bond, you gotta start with,
Speaker 3: at least from my perment point of view, you start
Speaker 3: with Connery. Then you go to Daniel Craig, who I
Speaker 3: thought was really terrific. Yes, I still to this day,
Speaker 3: even though he did one James Bond movie. George Lazenbee's
Speaker 3: On Your Matthew Secret Service is a terrific James Bond movie.
Speaker 3: So he's my three Brosnan is four, Roger is fifth,
Speaker 3: and Dalton is sick.
Speaker 2: I happen to be looking at I've got all kinds
Speaker 2: of things up on the room from where he broadcast
Speaker 2: and broadcast in my home. If you didn't know that.
Speaker 2: And there's Roger Moore. Maybe you've seen this photo because
Speaker 2: it was a standard photo leaning over one of the
Speaker 2: chairs that they put for the actors to sit at
Speaker 2: while other scenes are being filmed. And there he is
Speaker 2: right there over the light switch. And I would have
Speaker 2: had him second to Sean during the years of Roger Moore,
Speaker 2: but as the other Bond films were released, I moved
Speaker 2: him further down on the list for each one I too.
Speaker 2: I liked Daniel Craig a lot, but I put him third,
Speaker 2: after Pierce Brosnan, who I liked a lot, and then
Speaker 2: Timothy Dalton, then Roger Moore, and then Lazenbie. Those are
Speaker 2: mine in my order. So let's go back to the
Speaker 2: phone calls, full lines people, by the way, you know
Speaker 2: the numbers dum as you hear me saying goodbye to
Speaker 2: a call. But right now with toload to Ted, Ted
Speaker 2: and millis good evening, Ted, welcome to night side, Oh.
Speaker 6: Good evening, thank you.
Speaker 13: I just had a question, which is I wanted to
Speaker 13: hear what you thought about the movie The Rock, which
Speaker 13: is sort of, I don't know if you're aware, sort
Speaker 13: of an unofficial The rumor has always been that it
Speaker 13: was James Bond's last hurrah as a retired James Bond,
Speaker 13: kind of coming out of retirements.
Speaker 6: For I.
Speaker 2: See why you lean that way, but I think the
Speaker 2: better image of Sean Connery doing barndish things would be
Speaker 2: the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Stephen, how do you feel?
Speaker 11: I agree? Yeah, good, I.
Speaker 3: Agree with you. You know, God, I miss Sean. I
Speaker 3: miss missed the the just the machismo, the ty, testosterone,
Speaker 3: A man's man. It's funny. I was watching a movie
Speaker 3: on the Criterion Channel the other day I'm not quite
Speaker 3: just to called hell Drivers. It's about these truck drivers
Speaker 3: in London, are outside London who delivered They delivered cement
Speaker 3: or rocks every day at insane speeds. And Sean is
Speaker 3: practically a background type player, but still very good. This
Speaker 3: is nineteen fifty seven, so this is five years before
Speaker 3: he got the Doctor. No roll, but Sean was always
Speaker 3: you know, The Rock is it could be it could
Speaker 3: be kind of a James Bond coming out of retirement moment.
Speaker 3: It's interesting too.
Speaker 2: Much, Nicholas, Well, just too much.
Speaker 13: There is a reference to the beginning of the Rock
Speaker 13: that says the character that that Sean played was former sas.
Speaker 13: So that's why I think that's how the rumor kind
Speaker 13: of going.
Speaker 2: Yes, they alluded to what could have been Bond's early years.
Speaker 2: They alluded to that, and I see where some people
Speaker 2: might have had high hopes for that. But the League
Speaker 2: of Extraordinary Gentlemen that is as bond as you can get,
Speaker 2: with John Connery and not being called double oh seven.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I love them in the Untouchables as well.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, that's the Chicago way.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Whoever takes this line most likely will be the last
Speaker 2: call that we will take, because we still have another
Speaker 2: break coming a couple of commercials into the calls. So
Speaker 2: you take that line, We'll do the best we can
Speaker 2: to get you on. Let's go to Lowell and speak
Speaker 2: to Dennis. Dennis, welcome to Night's side.
Speaker 6: Oh, thank you very much. Good evening, gentlemen. I've been
Speaker 6: a Bond, saying well, I always think of Bond, James
Speaker 6: Bond from Doctor No. I've been a sand since then.
Speaker 6: I was a teenager and I saw Goldfinger. I was
Speaker 6: completely captured by James Bond. I went to see a
Speaker 6: Goldfinger with my mother.
Speaker 2: I'll top that. I went to see not just Goldfinger,
Speaker 2: but after the popularity was surprising everybody. They re released
Speaker 2: as a doubleheader Doctor No from Rechwood Love, and I
Speaker 2: saw them Doctor No from Ruchwood Love and then separately
Speaker 2: Goldfinger with my grandmother.
Speaker 6: So there, you've doubled you doubled me. Thinking of their songs,
Speaker 6: the song Goldfinger, Hilly Bassy, I mean that's number one,
Speaker 6: and you also played and nobody does it better. Collie
Speaker 6: Simon from The Spy Love Me is very good. But
Speaker 6: I always liked to Live and Let Die, you know.
Speaker 6: I thought that was good.
Speaker 9: With Wings, yes, and also a Skyfall Adele didn't do
Speaker 9: too badly with Skyfall.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I actually liked the latest one by Billie Eilish
Speaker 3: for No Time. He did a nice job as well.
Speaker 3: They've always had terrific musicians involved in the series.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right, And I'm gonna ask Steven this
Speaker 2: and maybe you two Dennis. When Living the Tie gets
Speaker 2: rerun a lot of times, they've removed the Paul McCartney music.
Speaker 2: Can you speak to that are Are you aware of that?
Speaker 3: That's news to me, Morgan.
Speaker 2: Okay, A lot of times they've reved. I thought it
Speaker 2: was for an example throughout the world of TV that
Speaker 2: happens periodically. I'll give you a stupid example, the TV
Speaker 2: show Kimber the White Lion. I loved that show when
Speaker 2: I was a kid. They removed the theme, the lyrics
Speaker 2: and put in something instrumental. So I'm guessing it costs
Speaker 2: you less to acquire the film that you're going to
Speaker 2: be showing on your station than it would if it
Speaker 2: were complete with the theme as we heard it originally.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing I'm actually surprised, because you know, there are
Speaker 3: shows they don't run on TV because the music has
Speaker 3: not been cleared. But I would highly doubt that Bond
Speaker 3: Bond is so so ubiquitous on television. It's always on
Speaker 3: a channel somewhere. I would be very surprised.
Speaker 2: All right, Dennis, was there anything else?
Speaker 6: Just finish up? I was shocked when I saw a
Speaker 6: poorly eaton with painted and gold. That was shocking.
Speaker 2: I thought you was a gosh down attractive woman.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, truly.
Speaker 2: Attractive woman, and I put her in the upper echelon
Speaker 2: of Bond Women.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah right, Dennis, Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Dennis, I'm gonna let you go, have to take a break.
Speaker 6: Yeah, take you all right, and.
Speaker 2: Time and temperature nine five twenty five degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

Speaker 12: Yeah? Hey, James Vond and Doctor Know in nineteen sixty
Speaker 12: three in Navy boot camp. And I couldn't believe that
Speaker 12: they would show a bunch of young Navy recruits that movie.
Speaker 12: We were going to the roof.
Speaker 2: Well, I hope it didn't inspire any of you to
Speaker 2: behave in a naughty way.
Speaker 12: No, not at all, not at all. And I don't
Speaker 12: think James One was kind of new then, I don't.
Speaker 12: We never knew. I think it was. I never heard
Speaker 12: of James one. It's kind of new.
Speaker 2: That was the first year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first two James Bond movies were released without
Speaker 3: without a lot of fanfare. It was not Goldfinger. Goldfinger.
Speaker 3: They blew out the marketing budget.
Speaker 6: So they could.
Speaker 3: But Doctor Though I didn't see the first two James
Speaker 3: Bond movies. My mother came home, havn't seen from Russia Love,
Speaker 3: and she said she couldn't explain the plot. It was
Speaker 3: just so wild. And then of course we all went
Speaker 3: to see Goldfinger in sixty four. But it's funny, you
Speaker 3: know the scene in Doctor No where Ursula Andres comes
Speaker 3: out of the water in that bikini.
Speaker 12: I tell you what you were talking about.
Speaker 13: That Joy.
Speaker 12: There were two hundred recruits in this indoor Joe's Hall,
Speaker 12: and they were showing the movie there when when that happened.
Speaker 8: Oh, the only thing I can compare it to from
Speaker 8: even back in the day before Barne was the scene
Speaker 8: with Rita Hayworth and.
Speaker 2: Gilda where she just shook her hair, snapped her head up,
Speaker 2: and that right was equal to Ursula Andrews coming out
Speaker 2: of the ocean.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Hey, you know, I just saw a little video on
Speaker 12: Facebook and barn one liners. There was about twenty minutes
Speaker 12: one liners from him and one liners from Double O seven.
Speaker 6: Was pretty good.
Speaker 12: It was a lot of funny one liners. You didn't realize.
Speaker 2: My favorite M one liner is where Barne had his
Speaker 2: watch fixed by Q and Like and he activated the
Speaker 2: magnet to take the spoon off the saucer and cup
Speaker 2: of tea that M was drinking. And Bond said, well,
Speaker 2: Q wired this. It's a magnet and allegedly it has
Speaker 2: the power to deflect the bullet at the right distance.
Speaker 2: And M said, I am so tempted to test that
Speaker 2: theory right now.
Speaker 12: The whole thing, you know, the name and the name's
Speaker 12: Double seven M and the you know, it's just like
Speaker 12: adults adult man's comic or something. You know, yeah, it was,
Speaker 12: it was.
Speaker 2: I gotta get two more people on. Thank you for
Speaker 2: the call. Happy holidays. Let's go to Robert and Wellesley.
Speaker 11: Robert, Hello, Oh, good evening. Good and good evening to
Speaker 11: your guests, mister Stephen J. Rubin and great show. I'd
Speaker 11: like to I'd like to agree with your guests. Higher
Speaker 11: ranking for George Rosenby and and Ausco Roger Moore. And
Speaker 11: I happened to hear an anecdote top by one of
Speaker 11: the Bond ladies, Carolyn Monroe, who spoke highly of Roger
Speaker 11: Moore as a as an actor, and thank you for
Speaker 11: mentioning the other Bond girls like Shirley Eaton Morgan. I
Speaker 11: certainly agree with your she deserves a high ranking among
Speaker 11: Bond women. And and Ursula Andrews. That's a that's a
Speaker 11: great scene. And and I liked your previous caller had
Speaker 11: some great comments. And I think that it sounds like
Speaker 11: the movie he saw was typical some shipboard uh movies
Speaker 11: shown on board Navy ships.
Speaker 2: Well, you know Carolyn Monroe, so I'm not mistaken. Her
Speaker 2: name was Naomi and she worked for Kurt Jurgen's in
Speaker 2: the spy who loved me, and she flew that helicopter
Speaker 2: and she was very sexy and usually taller women have
Speaker 2: a natural sexuality about them, which she did. But she
Speaker 2: would not surpass Shirley Eaton in my book, she was.
Speaker 3: She has that great moment where she's machine gunning or
Speaker 3: trying a machine gun Roger and the Lotus, and she
Speaker 3: sat them. It's a very sexy.
Speaker 2: Wink, very very all right, Robert, I get one more
Speaker 2: call to take. Thank you for taking the time to call.
Speaker 2: Happy holidays. There goes Robert and sharing You're lucky, you
Speaker 2: are lucky. I saved time for you.
Speaker 14: Oh well, thank you very much this evening. Merry Christmas,
Speaker 14: Happy holidays to everybody out there. I just have to
Speaker 14: make one point, and that is I want to talk
Speaker 14: really quickly about On Her Majesty's Secret Service, in my opinion,
Speaker 14: one of the underrated James Bond movies ever. I thought,
Speaker 14: I mean, for someone that didn't had hardly any acting experience,
Speaker 14: he didn't do a bad job all storyline.
Speaker 3: Off, I'll cut you off right there. He had zero
Speaker 3: acting experience. He lied his way into the interview, he
Speaker 3: lied his way into addition, and I still today maintained that,
Speaker 3: considering he had almost virtually never been on camera other
Speaker 3: than doing a chocolate ad in the in London, he
Speaker 3: was very comfortable in that role and very natural as Bond.
Speaker 3: I kind of wish he had stayed with it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: Agree. Let me give you my problem with that movie.
Speaker 2: You sullied the image of James Bond by having him
Speaker 2: while he's waiting to break into that doctor's office to
Speaker 2: get the paperwork to find all about blow film, blah
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, he flips through a Playboy. He flips
Speaker 2: through Playboy magazine and pulls out the centerfold. This is
Speaker 2: James Bond, who could have any woman in the world, real,
Speaker 2: a live woman, and he's taking out the centerfold of
Speaker 2: Playboy to I guess, let it inspire him at a
Speaker 2: later date. Wrong.
Speaker 14: I think that was the only James Bond movie where
Speaker 14: Playboy was actually in. I believe.
Speaker 3: All I can say to that whole all I can
Speaker 3: say that whole thing is that this never happened to
Speaker 3: the other fellow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, Sean. I gotta say goodbye because
Speaker 2: i'mount of time. Happy holiday, Sean, Thank you, goodbye, Steven,
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, Thank you, and we could do
Speaker 2: this for five hours. You and I both know that,
Speaker 2: and I will have you back in twenty twenty five. Okay.
Speaker 3: He always a pleasure for Morgan. We always have fun
Speaker 3: with our favorite stuff. And thanks to all the listeners,
Speaker 3: and happy holidays everybody. Stay safe out there and keep
Speaker 3: loving the Twilight Zone which is coming up in Marathon
Speaker 3: over news as always, and keep loving Bond.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steven. Happy holidays to you and family. All right, everybody,
Speaker 2: all I have to do is say who's for the
Speaker 2: next two hours. Mel Simon's here on BZ time nine
Speaker 2: fifty eight twenty five degrees
