Cubby Broccoli wasn't much of a fan of the Moonraker novel. Referred to it as dated, "one piddling little rocket threatening London".

Of course! A nuclear bomb hitting London couldn't possibly compare in scope to an American gangster trying to corner the market on the heroin trade.

Why do you have to hold it if it's on a pedestal?

I love the novel. The parts with the Bentley are enough alone.

The plot would have made a lot more sense to me if Mr. Big was a Soviet agent
as in the novel and was using the heroin money to fund Soviet plots in the Caribbean
and Central America.
