Bond fans have much to thank Jamaica for.
%26ldquo;It was a naked girl, with her back to him. She was not quite naked. She wore
a broad leather belt round her waist with a hunting knife in a leather
sheath at her right hip. The belt made her nakedness extraordinarily erotic%26hellip;
“The whole scene, the empty beach, the green and blue sea, the naked girl
with the strands of fair hair, reminded Bond of something. He searched his
mind. Yes, she was Botticelli%26rsquo;s Venus, seen from behind.%26rdquo; (Dr
No).
This is where the iconic film scene when Honechile Rider emerges from the sea
and morphs from Ursula to Halle to Daniel, started. Ian Fleming spent two
months a year writing in Jamaica. He wrote at his desk in Goldeneye and
produced a book a year for the last fourteen years of his life. Hard work.
