April 12
James Bond – Agent 007 – suave, sophisticated, and sexy, has made 23 thrilling action-packed spy movies that have grossed over $5 billion at the box office worldwide. The movies were based on many spy novels by English author Ian Fleming, and were created by film producer Albert Broccoli. The movies continue to be produced today by Broccoli’s heirs, enthralling audiences for the past 50 years.
Charismatic,
handsome-lady-killer-looks, famous one-liners, amazing sports cars, and
exciting gadgetry, Bond films boast them all. And to commemorate this much
admired British Secret Agent, Wilmington Operatives have organized an evening
of Bond, James Bond!
The
evening takes place on Friday April 12, 2013 at two of Wilmington’s
downtown eateries, and then continues at our historic Murphy Theatre with the 8pm showing of the 1964 famous film “Goldfinger”, starring Sean Connery, as agent 007 James Bond.
