In The Secret Service Of James Bond

In The Secret Service Of James Bond is a biography of Stefan Zürcher, who worked as a stunt double, production manager, location manager and assistant director on several Bond films.

Zürcher rode a sled with Pierce Brosnan, went golfing with Sean Connery, drank red wine with Friedrich Dürrenmatt, went hiking with Jon Voight and served as a double for Robert Redford.

After an exceptional 55-year career in the movie business, Stefan Zürcher tells stories of hair-raising stunts and ludicrous shenanigans on film locations, the likes of which can only happen in the world of cinema.

The life story of this Bernese Oberländer shows what happens behind the scenes of unforgettable movie classics: how he bulldozed the dunes of the Sahara for Warren Beatty, went on a pub crawl with Liza Minelli on Hamburg's Reeperbahn or almost froze to death in an igloo on orders from James Bond, and much more.

He worked on SPECTRE (2015), was Assistant Director on Quantum of Solace (2008), Production Manager on GoldenEye (1995), Unit Manager and Stunt Double for The Spy Who Loved Me (1976) and worked on dozens of other non-Bond films.
