Lewis Gilbert looks back over six decades in the film business, from directing classics such as Reach For The Sky and Alfie to three of the biggest Bond films ever: You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Director Roger Michell dissects Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun, an anti-war film from 1971. Writer Tom McCarthy discusses Alfred Hitchcock's preoccupation with doubles, particularly the director's own portly image often seen as cameos in his movies.
