Mein Name ist Fleming, Ian Fleming

A surprisingly dull and dry account of the creator of Bond. It's quite remarkable how boring they can make a description of Fleming/Bond's exciting international jet-setting lifestyle. Best avoided.

"My Name is Fleming, Ian Fleming" is a film that is supposed to be a documentary about the man who created James Bond...though the film often seems to forget this. Instead of doing an in depth study of Fleming, too often it concentrates on Bond and the Bond films. As a result, I felt like I barely learned anything about Fleming that I didn't already know.

Additionally, they managed to make it all seem pretty dull...which is hard to imagine considering Fleming's life (especially with Naval Intelligence during WWII) and the impact of his books. Dull music and some occasionally slopping camerawork (such in the golf course portion) left me wondering if perhaps someone somewhere will eventually do a better and more thorough biographical film about the writer.
