The Other Fellow

Although I have not seen a James Bond film in many years, I was unexpectedly amazed at The Other Fellow.

Ian Fleming was living in Jamaica in the 1950s when he came up with the idea of his now world famous series of books and, later, movies. The name James Bond was taken from a book about birds by an ornithologist living in Pennsylvania at the time.

An incredibly diverse set of individuals sharing the name of the 007 spy are profiled and interviewed.

A man originally from Germany and living in Sweden runs a James Bond museum and his story is an unusual one.

A white man and Black man both live in Indiana and their perspectives are quite different, although they are both named James Bond.

A woman in England had a brilliant solution to a stalker ex-husband which is both frightening and whimsical.

Once again, as with the 2022 Best Picture, the Oscars blew it by not selecting this movie as Best Documentary.

Do not miss this great movie.
