The Movie that cuaght my eye was a movie from 1954 called An Inspector Calls starring Alastair Sim 1954 ( a special favorite of mine), as it is called an underevaluted movie treasure, and that always a tease me.
Guy Hamilton left us not that long ago, april 2016
Having 4 Bond Movies on his CV, means money rolling in, but beyond that!, Only 22 movies is attached to his credists.
First the Bond Movies in order of availabilty I guess
Goldfinger 1964 The Spy Who Loved Me 1977 Live and Let Die 1973 Diamonds are for ever 1971 (thought Connery is dynamic, I thought this was a long borig mess) The Man With TheGolden Gun 1974
And Now beyond the Bond Movies.....
Battle of Britain 1969, Leonard Maltin waved this away as if you like to play "spot the star", I think itäs a good solid war movie that happens to have a ton of sir's in smaller roles.
Force ten from Navarone 1979
Evil Under the Sun 1982 great cast, Ustinovs 2nd try as Hercule Poirot
Remo Williams 1985, a James Bond wannabe, not bad but no cigarr
The Mirror Carck's 1980, Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Kim Novak, Tony Curtis, what could go wrong? though Angela Lansbury played Mts Marple (without Ron Goodwins tune), it paved the way on American television of 12 years of Murder She Wrote
Funeral in Berlin, from Michael Caine'e Harry Palmer series, very entertaining first half
An Inspector Calls 1954, from a Terrence Rattigan play
The Colditz Storry
and mant many more

Guy HamiltonLooking at his filmography I see that he worked as 2nd Unit or assistant director on several CLASSIC classics in the '40s and 50's. I REALLY do need to pay more attention to directors, seems I've enjoying his films for years.

Before his movie career he was a real-life war hero. His "behind enemy lines" work won him the DSC. James Bond is said to have been partly modelled on him.
Battle of Britain is very good. One of the few films where I like Olivier. Biggest defect is the unnecessary love story. I like the way it ends on a whimper. The number of airworthy planes assembled formed the eighth largest airforce in the world, although few were the correct types as insufficient had survived. The flying sequences are unique. Best watched with the original score by Sir William Walton. Not often that film scores become part of the concert hall repertoire. West Side Story and Copland's Red Pony are two more.
