60s Icons
Sylvia Syms explores the BBC's archives and chooses a selection of rarely seen interviews that tell the story of the acting stars who made 60s Britain swing. We find Sean Connery wrestling with the pressures of Bond-mania, and the man who replaced him - George Lazenby - talking about the pressures that came with his licence to kill.
Peter Sellers discusses his affection for Inspector Clouseau and Peter O'Toole explains how he got into character for Lawrence of Arabia. Julie Christie, the actress who personified swinging London, talks about her stunning rise to Oscar-winning stardom, while her ex-boyfriend Terence Stamp describes how he nearly killed her when they co-starred in Far from the Madding Crowd.
Finally, and friends with them all, is Michael Caine, who talks here about how secret agent Harry Palmer was the anti-Bond, how he wasn't living the life of Alfie and how he came up with the plan for one of the decade's great feel-good films, The Italian Job.
