The camera should be over there right next to them!" The tempered and soft-spoken Furie, who was at war with Saltzman throughout the production, simply responded, "That's how you shoot a Bond fight sequence." Music composer John Barry commented that the basis of his unusual cymbalom score for the film was Furie's framing of shots and his other worldly staging of scenes. The film went on to win the Best Picture at the British Academy Awards that year”<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764631039755560338.post-59130988595931324392014-09-25T06:48:24.673+01:002014-09-25T06:48:24.673+01:00You're right!

And Ken was production designer on Dr Strangelove and many of the Bond films. Terry Kiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888160718812027224noreply@blogger.com
