Reviews

There are two kinds of academic texts: the kind that contains photographs of Ursula Andress wearing a bikini, and the kind that do not. Licence to Thrill falls, fortunately, into the first category. -- Giles Coren The Times (London) Thoughtful, intelligent, ludicrous and a bit snobby. Bit like Bond, really. -- Stephen O'Brien SFX magazine For a theoretical study it is surprisingly entertaining. Chapman demonstrates that there is more to the 007 franchise than just girls, guns and globe trotting. He views each film as an exercise in camp. -- Mark Sanderson Evening Standard
