Unique photographs from 1972 LALD boat sequences in Louisiana
Introduction
Early next year, I plan to put a unique set of behind-the-scenes LALD photographs up for auction on ebay. This posting is an opportunity for AJB members to see and enjoy these images beforehand. Here’s an example, the rest are at the bottom of this text (combined into montages).
The auction will be for a set of thirty seven unique and genuine colour 35mm slides, taken on location during the filming of LALD. These slides offer a unique opportunity to own a little bit of James Bond movie history from 40 years ago.
Background:
The slides were all taken on my father’s camera in October 1972 around the Louisiana canals, during the speedboat chase and road crossing sequences. At the time, my father was shooting an advertisement for milk, which was shot behind the scenes of LALD and shows cast and crew members planning and shooting sequences (search for the advertisement on the web). Mr Saltzman was happy for this to occur, since it increased publicity for the movie. This part of LALD was nearly shot in Mexico instead.
These slides have been in a family drawer for the last 40 years and are 100% genuine and unique. Apart from seeking advice regarding one or two slides (thank you to a couple of AJB members), they have not been previously published or released and none have been sold.
Condition:
The slides are still in the original slide mounts – either cardboard or plastic frames (these are protected by two glass layers). The date “Nov 72” is printed on the cardboard slides. Since all slides have been stored in a covered projector carousel, they have virtually no damage. As with any old film, there is some slight degradation and fading on some of the images (they are 40 years old).
The slides and film have been cleaned with the recommended Archival Cleaner PEC-12. They were then scanned on my Epson 2400 Perfection scanner at very high resolution. Apart from slight image saturation adjustments on one or two, no other software-editing or manipulation has occurred. To keep to the eBay image limit, I have had to create montages (showing groups of three or four slides each). These uploaded images are deliberately of much lower resolution than the original scans. Each scan is numbered and has my watermarked User ID as protection. The slides are mounted in Herma A4 sized wallets, 4 x 5 layout per wallet.
Ownership:
I would prefer these slides to go to a collector of James Bond memorabilia, so that they can be looked after and appreciated, as I have done so. I decided against selling them individually.
However, whoever buys them, will not only own the physical slides, but can (if they wish) make prints of them and do with them as they wish. I therefore hope that the potential value of these slides can be understood. I simply do not have the time to sell or make individual prints of these.
Description:
My father (now 82) recently provided me with interesting background information on the shots. The initial images show Roger Moore and the cinematographer Arthur Lavis planning a Glastron boat sequence. In slide 2, ‘Billy Bob’s’ black fast boat is visible. The next slides all show Roger Moore behind the wheel. There was a massive cat fish skeleton in slide 12 (out of shot), which my father said spooked him a bit. Slides 13 to 17 show some cast and the crew getting ready for the boat crossing and police car pile up. Lots going on these shots – Guy Hamilton (hand on hip) is directing and Mr Saltzman is in the foreground by the radio. The next slides show the boat crossing, police cars crashing and aftermath. Note a member of Joie Chitwood’s stunt crew with a fire extinguisher and the nurse at the back (dark mac) – Health and Safety! Slide 27 is cool, it shows the stunt drivers taking off their skin-coloured helmets! More shots of the crew and Director in slides 33 and 34, followed by Roger Moore about to enjoy a glass of milk. My father said he was really easy and co-operative to work with. The last image proves these slides are authentic – please note the development date ‘Nov 72’ top right.
It has taken me considerable time to clean, scan and create this listing. I’d be really interested to get any comments or questions from AJB members. You can always send me a PM. I can forward any questions to my father if required.
I hope you enjoy the photos and look out for the ebay auction early next year if you are interested. Here are the montages …..
Having owned over 20 of these guns over the years I have never seen the edition number as high as this. The plaque has 1007 which I guess must have been a special request as its a first edition gun and that edition wnet to something like 250 pieces before significant changes took place

I used to sell them - the last 10 I bought from Jim Arnold and there was so little interest at the time I wondered if I would ever get rid of them!! they went )

No idea mate, but I heed anyone to beware;
I was once asked by someone on here (not a regular) to make a plaque for an SD Studios P99.
The story behind it was the poor guy had lost the plaque and wanted a replacement. Ok, so not very suspicious, until the serial number turned out to be 007/500.....
I quoted high for it, and I mean stupidly high, as in over £60 plus, and that wasn't including postage. The guy said that was fine.
That much for a piece of plastic, with no questions asked? Alarm bells rang and to avoid me being part of the scam I ceased communications with the guy.
The P99 from SD must be the easiest to forge, and I suspect someone was out to con anyone willing to cough up.
So there ya go peeps, be careful when shelling out your hard-earned.
I think its like the SD Studios Odd Jobs hat - a few were made and an attempt was made at a licence and either they did not get one or the idea did not get any further.

If its crap its crap, the term almost means making something good look crap )
Actually, there is a difference between genuine crap and fake crap as my wife frequently reminds me. Generally speaking, genuine crap costs a lot more than fake crap and comes with a (TM) somewhere on the box!
