Merry Christmas 2022 to all Bond fans around the world!
December 24, 2022 0 By 007 TravelersThe Christmas Bond film of all is naturally “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (1969), which happens around Christmas time when Bond (George Lazenby) is trapped in Piz Gloria, Switzerland.
In the movie we hear also the Christmas song “Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?” sung by Danish singer Nina (van Pallandt) (born Nina Magdelena Møller; 15 July 1932).
Van Pallandt is best known for her roles in the films of Robert Altman. She is also a folk singer who toured Europe with fellow performer Baron Frederik Van Pallandt. The Danish-born Van Pallandt made her film debut in Altman’s neo-film noir “The Long Goodbye” (1973). She has played leads in a handful of obscure international films and contributed offbeat supporting performances to Paul Schrader’s “American Gigolo” (1980) as well as lesser Altman fare such as “Quintet” (1979) and “O.C. and Stiggs” (1987). Van Pallandt earned a degree of notoriety for her romantic involvement with Clifford Irving, whose faked biography of Howard Hughes landed him in prison.
