Never Say Never Again interview help

The Bond Vivant

Hi all! I know this is considered sacrilegious territory for some, many, in fact, fans, but I need your help. Next month I will be interviewing Gavan O'Herlihy, Captain Jack Petachi, from NSNA, for The Bond Experience, and I'm wanting any closet, or open, NSNA fans input and questions that they would like me to ask Gavan. I've already reached out to a few of you already, but if any of you have anything interesting that you'd like me to quiz him about, or juicy insights/trivia that you'd like me to explore, let me know, either by PM, or on here.

Much obliged, one and all.

Cheers,

Blair

Great score! I'd be interested to know if there was any attitude on set about NSNA being a competing or unofficial Bond film. Did it feel like he was making a competing Bond film, or was he excited to be a part of a Bond film of any kind?

He didn't have any scenes with Connery, right?

1) Maybe ask how he came to get the role, the interview process. His rivals for the part.

2) Did any of his scenes end up on the cutting room floor? Most NSNA actors complained about this, like Pamela Salem.

3) Any rewrites as they went along that affected filming? How different was it to the original script? Barbara Carrera wasn't happy about the way things were going. At what point in the schedule did they film his stuff, beginning or end when the script doctors had got on board?

Great questions, guys!

I'd just like to hear any recollections he might have on the film. Did Gavin enjoy working with Barbara Carrera? Did he get to hang out with Sean?

Other than Connery himself, Kevin McClory was the most important to Bond history among the people in the cast and crew. Perhaps you could ask som questions about him and his work with other key people working on NSNA?

What did he think of the producer Jack Schartzman ? Did he have the impression that big sum of money was waste (by a bad organization) on the making of the film ?
