Sea, sand and desert

Coming fifty years ago this year : sea, sand and desert!

In 1962 the first James Bond movie was released, and Ursula Andress became famous as Honey Rider, a shell diver who rises out of the Caribbean Sea wearing a white bikini. Meanwhile Elvis was Ross Carpenter, a penniless Hawaiian fisherman in the comedy 'Girls, Girls, Girls'. However the highest grossing film of the year was the award winning 'Lawrence of Arabia', where Peter O'Toole donned full Bedouin costume and roamed the desert on a camel. One extreme to the other, or what? And talking of camels, Art Blakey released his record 'Caravan' (as in a caravan of camels!) while Dizzy Gillespie had a live album, 'Dizzy on the Riviera', and Acker Bilk was the 'Stranger on the Shore'.
