Everything or Nothing focuses on producers Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltzman and author Ian Fleming, three men with a shared dream: Bond. It’s the thrilling and inspiring story behind the longest running film franchise in movie history, which began in 1962. With unprecedented access to both the key players involved and to Eon Productions’ archive, this is the first time the inside story of the franchise has ever been told on screen this way.

An amusing and touching look through the album of a single family that has three fathers and brought fame to five sons (so far). The structure of a family melodrama, with a moving farewell, clearly definable villains and infallible heroes, corresponds to the pop-culture position of James Bond (for evidence of this, see the fans’ initial radical rejection of Daniel Craig). The team of editors did a nice job with the appropriate illustrative material, so the shots aptly complement what is being said at the given moment. I consider the documentary’s auditory highlights to be Dalton’s beautiful English and Lazenby and Brosnan reminiscing about their time as Bond, which they manage to do with a healthy sense of detachment. Though it is basically only a rehash of material known from the many bonuses on DVD releases of individual Bond movies (in which, however, there was a crushing prevalence of laudatory words), the approach to all of the important audio-visual material (including shots from the “traitorous” Bond flick Never Say Never Again) and mainly the boldly personal tone elevate Everything or Nothing above the run-of-the-mill documentaries about films and their protagonists. 80%
