Mat Whitecross's new documentary, "The Sound of 007" reveals the history of the Bond music, from the genesis of 1962's "Dr. No" with its iconic theme, through to Billie Eilish's Academy Award®-winning song for 2021's "No Time To Die."
From Monty Norman’s signature theme to Billie Eilish’s No Time to Die, the secrets of the music of the 007 series are laid bare in this superb documentary, released to coincide with Global James Bond Day. Director Mat Whitecross takes viewers behind the scenes for tales of Shirley Bassey removing her bra to help her hit the high notes in Goldfinger, and Tina Turner’s shock at Bono’s “really bad” vocal demo for GoldenEye. With various other Bond alumni getting involved, it all adds up to a fitting salute to the screen franchise as it celebrates its 60th anniversary.
