Watch Cubby Broccoli: The Man Behind Bond For Free

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

. . . whose name provides "truth in advertising." After all, when's the last time you saw Bobby Smith of the Spinners shoeing a horse? How many jousts did basketball's Bobby Knight win? Can you even picture world chess champion Bobby Fischer as a London cop? So it's very gratifying to learn from CUBBY BROCCOLI: THE MAN BEHIND BOND that Eon Production's driving force in churning out the initial three decades of Jame Bond Agent 007 flicks, Arthur R. "Cubby" Broccoli ACTUALLY was a broccoli farmer at one point in his life (until he found out that there was more money to be had in secret agents than in green vegetables). Moreover, Mr. Broccoli's immediate ancestors hailed from the part of Italy that invented his namesake dipping stalk, making him one of the most honest people to spend significant time in Tinsel Town (why, just this week we learned that BOTH of the principals in the L.A. Clipper's Sterling\Silver scandal adopted drastically different surnames after leaving high school, just as the vast majority of Hollywood actors have done during the past century). Cubby Broccoli was a great man, and this 41 minute, 24 second biography is well worth your time.
