Help! Need to find out what Bond movie my desk was in.

jeffjeff Posts: 4MI6 Agent
I am trying to figure out which Bond movie has a certain desk. My parents own the desk and they are trying to sell it. I would really appreciate your help.

Here's the info:

If my parents remember it correctly it was a Sean Connery film (but they are not sure). In the scene Bond is serving drinks to a lady. He walks behind the desk, presses a button and a bar comes out of the desk with drinks in it. The bar raises out of a hatch in the desk (like other sneaky things from the Prohibition Era). He pours her a drink and says one of his classic lines about "Stirred not shaken".

What movie is it from?

Thanks

    unfortunately that movie sequence is not seen in any final cut of the Bond movies.

    I personally would put the described scene into phantasyland :D but maybe someone else here has knowledge of deleted scenes where the mentioned "feature" has been showed?

    Sounds more like a sketch for a comedy show...I think someone was a little 'creative' when selling the desk to your parents...do you have anymore information about the desk, when your parents bought it etc. ?

    Anyone can claim that a random Desk is from a Bond Film. Have you had it properly verified?

    It is a beautiful desk -{ but as others have said with no provenance, it
    Hasn't a Bond connection.

    HI Jeff, im afraid I have to go with my learned colleagues, I don't remember it myself , but then if you have been a keen follower
    of our club ,you will see that the Bond knowledge here is 2nd to none , but as agent Bondtoys suggests it could have been filmed but deleted and not made it to the final cut, but welcome aboard the good ship AJB anyway :)
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Thanks to everyone for sharing your two cents. The answer is disappointing but at least now we know.

    It's still a nice story -{ although I was wondering about
    " The bar raises out of a hatch in the desk (like other sneaky things from the Prohibition Era) "
    Does the desk actually have a secret hatch, or would this have been a bit of movie magic ?

    Maybe it was a Sean Connery film and not a Bond film???

    Could have been, Marnie or " woman of straw ".

    Could be...but it isn't...more likely to be a spoof - probably not even featuring Connery...

    :)) Very likely , I was trying to think of an early Connery and I can
    Remember a desk in a couple of scenes in Marnie, and Woman of straw.
    Although I do understand many films have desks in them. :))

    There is still the possibility that the desk could have been in a Bond film, just that the particular scene and gadgetry didn't happen. What made your parents think that it was in a film? How did they acquire the desk?

    The exception that proves the rule. - I viewed my YOLT DVD and Henderson (played by Charles Grey)
    offers Bond a drink and says "Stirred not shaken-is that right?" and Bond replies-"Perfect".

    Also M on board the submarine has a big desk with drawers-but don't know about the drinks rising up!

    In YOLT there are 2 Vodka references , where Henderson says he gets his Russian vodka from the doorman at the Russian Embassy-amongst other things. Then later at Osato Chemicals he exclaims about the "Siamese vodka!".
