Although it has been rumored otherwise, Hitch was never given the opportunity to do a Bond movie. <br /><br />Your comments got me thinking... watch this space for a full-on response!<br /><br />JgJoel Gunzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02597499250122165168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219214733140697041.post-26472292881905922902009-10-07T10:49:31.607-07:002009-10-07T10:49:31.607-07:00As a Bond fan I must comment that you are dead on with 39 STEPS having simularities to Bond films. Both NOTORIOUS and NORTH BY NORTHWEST are also in the style of Bond films. As matter of fact Hitch was going to be asked, or possibly was approached, to direct THUNDERBALL in 1961 or &#39;62.Personally I could see Hitch directing a loyal adaptation of Moonraker, that would have been fantastic.Rick Robertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00518171797365794688noreply@blogger.com
