Was that really what it was about? If so that didn't come over very clearly to me. The film is about most aspects of Fleming's life and how it was filtered into his books, all illustrated by a variety of Bond film clips. (The relevance of these is questionable as many of them have no relationship to Fleming. However I admire the editor who went through and found them all. And it's fun to see them.)
Contributors are many, and include William Boyd (who's not in it enough), friends, relatives and various Jamaican dignitaries. Helena Bonham Carter reads extracts. Looks like there's extensive use of a Jamaica tourist information film from the 1960s. Considering they obviously had some Fleming interview footage I'm surprised they didn't make more use of it - perhaps he had nothing very interesting to say.
