Plot Description

When an American space capsule is swallowed up by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship, World War 3 nearly breaks out. The British Government, however, suspect that other powers are at work as the space craft went down near Japan. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the force behind the theft, as James Bond discovers, but its motives are far from clear, and he must first find out where the captured space capsule is held before America and Russia initiate another world war.

Description

Thirty-Minute Theatre was an anthology drama series of short plays shown on BBC Television between 1965 and 1973. It became a sort of a training ground for new writers on account of its short running length, and therefore it attracted many writers who later became well known.

36 Hours

Information

Produced in 1964
What Dahl Did: wrote original story entitled “Beware of the Dog” *
All Movie Information

Based on:
- “Beware of the Dog”

* Some additional info: Dahl didn’t actually have much to do with this film. According to Sturrock, Dahl found out about it after it was already produced and was surprised there was no acknowledgement of his story. He instructed his agent to ask MGM for a settlement. After a short fight with the studio, Dahl was granted his credit as well as a payment of $30,000 (for his children’s trust fund).
