James Bond: Curling auf der Terrasse/Angriff auf Piz Gloria

This marker is consists of two plaques located on the back of James Bond figures.

Curling auf der Terrasse
Das Schilthorn war 1968 Hauptdrehort f?r den Bond-film "Im Geheimdienst ihrer Majest?t". Nach f?nf Filmen mit Sean Connery schl?pfte der Australier George Lazenby f?r dieses eine Mal in die Rolle des britischen Geheimagenten. Die Panoramaterrasse war damals ein Helikopter-Landeplatz, der eigens f?r den Dreh errichtet wurde.

Im Film ist der "Piz Gloria" das Versteck Bewichts Blofeld, der hier wundersch?ne M?dchen als t?dliche Geheimwaffen ausbildet. 007 verschafft sich, getarnt als schottischer Ahnenforscher Hilary Bray, zutritt zu Blofelds Institut und begibt sich damit auf gef?hrlich glatten Boden: F?r die ber?hmte Curling-Szene wurde die Terassenoberfl?che vereist.

Curling on the Terrace
The Schilthorn summit was the main shooting location for the Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1968. After five films with Sean Connery, the Australian George Lazenby slipped into the role of the British secret agent just this once. At that time, the panorama terrace was a helicopter landing pad that was specially set up for filming.

In the film, "Piz Gloria" is Blofeld the villain's hideout where stunning girls are trained as deadly weapons. 007 gains access to Blofeld's institute disquised as the Scottish genealogist, Sir Hilary Bray, and with this exposes himself to dangerously slippery floors: the terrace surface was iced over the (for) the famous curling scene.

Angriff auf Piz Gloria
Im Finale des Bond-Films "Im Geheimdienst Ihrer Majest?t" ist die Panoramaterasse Schauplatz der grossen Angriff-Szenen. Blofelds geheimes Institut wird von 007 und und seinen M?nnern von Helikoptern aus gest?rmt und schliesslich - als Modell - in die Luft gesprengt.

Die Romanvorlage zum Film verlangte nach einer abgelegenen Alpenfestung. Das Schilthorn wurde mit dem gleissenden Gipfelgeb?ude und der damals l?ngsten Seilbahn der Welt als ideale Location entdeckt und ist seit dem untrennbar mit dem Namen "Piz Gloria" verbunden.

Attack on Piz Gloria
In the finale of the Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the panorama terrace is the setting for the famous attack scenes. Blofeld's secret institute is stormed by 007 and his men from the helicopter and finally blown up as a model.

The novel that the film is based on called for an isolated Alpine fortress. The Schilthorn was discovered as the ideal location with its glistening summit building and longest cable car in the world at the time and has been inextricably associated with the film name "Piz Gloria" since then.
