Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which beloved children's author is credited with writing a James Bond film?"
The beloved children's author Roald Dahl, best known for classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda, is also surprisingly credited with writing a James Bond film. In 1967, Dahl crafted the screenplay for You Only Live Twice, the fifth film in the James Bond series starring Sean Connery. While known for his imaginative children's stories, Dahl had a darker side to his writing, making him a fitting choice for adapting Ian Fleming's novel into a thrilling spy adventure. Interestingly, Dahl and Fleming knew each other from their time serving in Britain’s intelligence force during World War II.
