The beginnings of a film career

Dodi was just a teenager when Cubby Brocolli, the legendary producer of the James Bond films, went to Sardinia to shoot the adventure in which a rogue oil tanker opens its bow doors and swallows up three submarines. Mohamed Al Fayed, who owned the Genavco shipping company, had just the oil tanker Cubby needed. Admittedly, its bows did not actually open. But special effects can do wonderful things.

Dodi loved being on the set of the film. On the set, he met and formed a lifelong friendship with Cubby’s daughter, Barbara, also a teenager at the time.
