1967 saw the fifth James Bond film, You Only Live Twice, release. During the filming in Japan, it was announced that Sean Connery would retire from the role of Bond. Unlike most James Bond films, which usually feature various locations around the world, almost the entire film is set in one country, and several minutes are devoted to an elaborate Japanese wedding.
In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet crewed spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit, each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War. Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island to find the perpetrators, and comes face-to-face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE. The film reveals the appearance of Blofeld, who was previously a partially unseen character. SPECTRE is working for the government of an unnamed Asian power, implied to be the People's Republic of China, to provoke war between the superpowers.
Today, we continue our journey as we celebrate the huge milestone that is 60 years of the James Bond cinematic franchise as we take a look back at every Bond film from Dr. No all the way to the latest installment - No Time to Die.
