Forgive us for being a bit self-indulgent, but we wanted to draw readers' attention to an article in the prestigious Chicago Tribune about Cinema Retro's very own Raymond Benson, who is riding high with the rave reviews of his new Covid-era mystery-thriller "The Mad, Mad Murders of Marigold Way." Regular readers know that Raymond was once chosen by Ian Fleming's estate to write six official James Bond novels. He has also written many other well-received thrillers that are unrelated to Bond. The article provides interesting insights into Raymond's early days and how he became enthused about the 007 films. Raymond has been an important contributor to Cinema Retro from our very first issue in which he initiated his popular column that examines various aspects of film history.
