This double feature was my introduction to James Bond
at the Babylon theater in the late spring of 1965.
A set of gum cards was issued to coincide with the release of
this double feature,the set included the first three James Bond movies,
DR.NO,FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE,and the most recent one GOLDFINGER, I collected them all.
After “THE GUNS OF NAVARONE"but before "THE DIRTY DOZEN” was this movie about a motley crew of recruits on a deadly mission, from director Roger Corman.
This movie was released a year after Bruce Lee’s death in 1973,edited
from episodes of the 1966 TV show “The Green Hornet”. It was based
on the 1940’s radio show and serial movie.The actual star of the show
was Van Williams who was Brett Reid news paper tycoon by day and crime
fighter The Green Hornet by night;Bruce Lee played Kato his chauffeur
and lethal fighting machine.Another wise okay masked detective show,the best thing about the show was Bruce Lee’s martial arts kills,and the
Green Hornet’s car “The Black Beauty"a customized Chrysler Imperial
with some tricks of it’s own.
“GAY PURR-EE"featuring the legendary Judy Garland and Robert Goulet
fresh from his run on Broadway in"Camelot”, both appeared together
on the Jack Parr TV show to perform the movie theme song.
The"Wizard of Oz"song writing team of E.Y.Harburg and Harold Arlen
did the music.Chuck Jones' collaborater Abe Levitow directed.
“GAY PURR-EE was released to theaters in a lack luster fashion.
Bondmania was in full swing and would be for the next two years.There was Bond aftershave,Bond beach towels,Bond lunch
boxes,even Bond beer!The James Bond Aston Martin had been
on display at the 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair,and on
Sonny Fox’s kids TV show Wonderama on WNEW channel-5.
James Bond’s first double feature opened June 1ST,1965
It out sold many,many first run movies.

Derek Flint was the essence of cool at the height of the secret agent
craze,played to perfection by actor James Coburn;was"James Bond 007’s"
only real competition.Only two theatrical movies were made for agent “Flint”,plus one forgettable TV movie “FLINT, DEAD ON TARGET”.
Some plans were made to make another movie ,maybe with Coburn at the time:called"F for FLINT"but nothing ever came of it.
The first James Bond movie"Dr.No,turned some heads,the second one
“From Russia with Love"the critics took notice,the third"Goldfinger”
broke down all the doors.The first James Bond double feature of
“Dr.No"and"From Russia with Love"was re-released to theaters in the
spring of 1965 and out sold alot of first run movies.
THE WEST END IS THE THEATER DISTRICT IN LONDON,BY WHICH I MEANT TO REFER TO RICHARD BURTON’S THEATER BACK GROUND,AND CLINT EASTWOOD WORKING WITH HIM WHO HAS A TV AND MOVIE BACK GROUND.
FRENCH MASTER CRIMINAL"FANTOMAS WAS ORIGINALLY MADE AS A SILENT 1913 SERIAL.JEAN MARIAS PLAYS BOTH VILLIAN FANTOMAS AND HERO JOURNANIST FANDOR IN THIS 1964 ADVENTURE,RELEASED IN THE U.S. 1966.
ACTION ON THE HIGH SEAS,AS A GROUP OF AMATEUR TREASURE HUNTERS AND AN ITALIAN DISH PLAN TO ROB THE RMS QUEEN MARY WITH A REFURBISHED WW2 GERMAN U BOAT. FILM SCORE BY COUNT BASIE.
Dean Martin as the swingingest secret agent Matt Helm in his first
caper “THE SILENCERS”,armed with guns gadgets and his “SLAYGIRLS”
up against THE BIG"O"organization,corney but lovable DEAN.

Also on the bill was the King Curtis band featuring a then
unknown guitar player named Jimi Hendrix.
The movie that was shown with each performance was"WACKIEST SHIP IN
THE ARMY"starring Jack Lemmon and Ricky Nelson.
Soupy Sales was at the peak of his career with his kid show on
TV WNEW CHANNEL 5 N.Y.C. also had minor hit record at the time called
“DO THE MOUSE!” Frank Sinatra was a big fan and appeared on his
show twice to get a pie thrown in his face by Soupy.

A great GODZILLA monster fest I saw with my buddies!
SECOND FEATURE WITH “ A COVENANT WITH DEATH"STARRING:GEORGE MAHARIS
All I can say,it was a great treat to see the re-issue of the
“HOUSE of WAX"with 3-D glasses at the Babylon theater back in
December,1971!
This movie was re-released in 1966 as"THE GREAT SPY MISSION".
Under any name it didn’t do well in the U.S.,but it was a hit in the u.k.
