Screenshots from Flashman (1967) in Lebanon

Cool find by Beirut/NTSC of the below images taken from “Flashman“, and originally posted by Kheireddine in Skyscraper City.

So this is is how it was in 1967, the first one shot in Jounieh, the second in Maameltein back when the train ran through it, and the third one in Rawche next to the famous rocks. I am not getting nostalgic or anything, but – alongside that famous scene from James Bond (where he was having sex in Baalbeck!) – this is a throwback for a long-gone era (an era where things were brewing underneath the flashiness).

So, anyone got that scene of James Bond in Baalbeck? 😛

    How cool! Thanks for posting. I think I saw this one when I was in middle school as part of a compilation film they showed us at the French Cultural Center in the early 1990s. If I recall, there is a scene where he or another character also flies out of a window from the Phoenicia. I also like what you said about ‘things brewing underneath’. Sometimes I wonder if there is some of that today.

    The James Bond movie you’re referring to is the Man with the Golden Gun. It’s a good one! You should watch it 😀
