Spy dossier/files

jkroops · June 2012

Hello all first time posting here, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this type of question.

I am a design student putting together a self promo piece to send to potential employers. I am planning to create a mock spy-dossier (like a file that bond would be given on a certain villain with surveillance shots, criminal record etc)

I am hoping someone could advise which bond films have any examples of files/documents/dossiers etc in them. Looking for closeups of peoples files (paper) or even digital (computer screens etc) would do.

I would love to marathon watch every bond movie but I just don't have the time before my deadline.

Any help would be so great.
Thank you.

The first one that comes to my mind is Thunderball. There are some dossier shots when all the 00's gather for the mission briefing, and I think there are a few more in the scene after in M's office. There isn't a whole lot of substantial/lengthy shots, but it's the best example I can think of right now off the top of my head.

You might also want to check out OHMSS where bond goes to Gumbold's office and searches through some papers on Blofield.

Edit: Just remembered, Dr. No should has a dossier shot as well. I know for certain there is one in particular at the beginning where a henchman opens a cabinet of folders and pulls one out with Dr. No written on it. Again, nothing substantial (it's a plain folder), but it's something.

I recall top secret mission folders from For Your Eyes Only as well.

btw...i think this is an awesome idea

Sounds a great idea to get ahead of the pile. I'd employ someone with that sort of initiative. Good luck!

As other have pointed out, Thunderball, For your eyes Only, Octopussy, The living daylights, The opening of Dr No.
I think it's a great idea and hope you have lots of luck with it. -{

The auction catalogue for the Goldfinger Aston Martin was designed to look like an old dossier folder, with fake coffee cup stains and smudge marks. Good pictures can be found here:

Thank you so much for the help everyone!

Your advice is greatly appreciated. Superb inspiration!

If you think of anything else (perhaps even non-bond spy or criminal record files) please let me know. This looks as though it could turn out to be a great project!

Cheers,
