OSS 117 was born in 1949, penned by Jean Bruce. Four years before the first James Bond novel was published, this author invented an American spy of French descent employed by the Office of Strategic Serices- OSS, the CIA's predecessor under the number 117. The agent scours the world, from impossible missions to pretty girls. The tone is brisk; the novels mingle exoticism, action and spying. Success will come quickly and will not be belied: 265 adventure novels translated into 17 languages, 75 million sold copies, plays, comic books and eight movies make up the OSS 117 legend.
Almost six decades later, the manly and seductive hero, ready to confront all kinds of danger, remains one of the first publishing phenomena and a cultural icon of the sixties.
OSS 117 is the code name for Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, a free-lancing American secret agent of French origin. Four films were released between 1963 and 1966, featuring scores by Michel Magne. Here, however, we have the great score to this updated, light-hearted version composed by Ludovic Bource. Thanks to Rocket for this rip.
