PLOT SUMMARY

A look at the title sequences from the James Bond films, with special attention paid to the life and works of the legendary Maurice Binder.

CAPSULE REVIEW

Dull. The Bond title sequences are certainly important to the films but do they really warrant 23 minutes of documentary? The biography of Binder is interesting but too brief and superficial to be of any real, lasting value.
