Additionally, the magazine will feature
occasional columns by Richard Kiel, who played Jaws in the
Bond films. In issue #1, Kiel provides a hilarious look
at his promotional activities for the Grade B sci-fi movies
he made in his early days as an actor. Also, Bond author
Raymond Benson provides an entertaining look at his choice
for the best movies of 1960.
If your love of older movies extends beyond Bond, you'll
find a treasure trove of superb material here including
an exclusive unpublished interview with Steve McQueen from
1969; a photo-packed tribute to "The Great Escape",
a tribute to Peter Cushing's Dracula films, coverage of
Robert Vaughn's t.v. series for Gerry Anderson- "The
Protectors", and a fascinating look at Clint Eastwood's
fourth "Dollar" film that was not to be.
The magazine is fairly massive at 64 pages and there's
probably as much information as can be found in a typical
book. The photos are the real treat, however, especially
if you love rare international movie poster art, much of
which finds it's way into the pages of Cinema Retro.
