No wonder, the studio was so keen to bring SC back for DAF and give him whatever he wished ($1M + % of US market gross + 2 non Bond movies to be made as per the wishes of SC) )
So, my name is Bond.....James Bond. And being the gambler I am, my chances are 4/1 - I like those odds especially with the Group 1 quality fillies in this field -{

Indeed, it is a very nice group. Probably among best assembled in a Bond movie. The screen must have been on fire when the film was released in the 60s -{

I was planning to write my own list for Thunderball, however, I cannot argue with a single thing on this list

Love this film, all pros for me except for the one slight niggle and that's that it took bond too long fighting with lago and why the he'll didn't he just pull back the throttle of the disco volante as opposed to trying to steer clear of the rocks??? Doh James and you a commander in the Royal navy too!

Bond: Strange as this may seem to you Largo, I’ll be the one with the smile on my face at the end of the night
Domino: I have a good feeling that walther PPK is all it is cracked up to be -{

"Better make that two."
As TP put it "Thunderball is just an epic production, an event movie, before we even had event movies. "

Mainly because I have the hair so feel I can identify
This is probably why I can identify with Telly Savalas.
