Cinema Retro #2 Sneak Peek
16th May 2005
The second limited edition issue of Cinema
Retro magazine is now available and, like the premiere issue,
James Bond fans will find it hard to resist. The magazine
is the sole publication dedicated to classic and cult films
of the 1960s and 1970s.
Published by Dave Worrall and Lee Pfeiffer, authors of
the best-selling book “The Essential James Bond”,
Cinema Retro is unique among film magazines in that many
of the writers are the actors, directors, and producers
who actually worked on these films, thus a first-hand experience
can be related. |

“Response to the first issue has been very gratifying”,
says Pfeiffer. “Every week it seems another major name from
the film industry contacts us with an idea or a column they would
like to contribute. For example, last November I was having tea
with Christopher Lee at Harrods and he showed a keen interest
in the magazine. You can imagine my reaction when he said he would
like to contribute regular columns”.

Additionally, Dave Worrall was invited to
spend the day with Roger Moore in London and attend a screening
of his classic supernatural thriller “The Man Who
Haunted Himself”.
The magazine boasts regular columns by notable James Bond
alumni. In addition to Christopher Lee, there are rotating
columns by Caroline Munro and Richard Kiel. “We’re
also very gratified that we not only have a superb staff
of talented writers, but that some of the most recognizable
names in the film business are reading Cinema Retro”,
says Dave Worrall. |
The second issue of the magazine features a number of highlights
of interest to spy movie fans. Among them:
-

Ken Adam in which the making of Dr. No is discussed
in detail.
