    Music “Switching the Body” Peter Hunt used part of this cue elsewhere

    Yes, by Barbara Jefford (Tania in FRWL)

    She does a good job of making the characters sound very different to each other

    Not sure why Lippe doesn't take a shot at Bond here, as well as the other baddie at the window

    The shots inside the Vulcan look really convincing

    The "What's happening? What's going on?" girl in the night dress in Shrublands was very sweet (like the maid in the Miami hotel whose master room key Bond borrows in GF)

    Actor Edward Underdown, playing an RAF officer here, was apparently one of Fleming’s own choices for Bond (says “Martinis, Girls And Guns”)

    The Vulcan scenes are very good

    If Fleming had influenced the casting, I don't think the cinematic Bond would have lasted to a fourth film.

    Some complain that the underwater scenes are slow and boring- back in the 60s I sat enthralled watching all this on the big screen, helped of course by John Barry's music.

    Music “The Bomb”

    It’s only now I’m really beginning to wow at how complicated all this underwater photography must have been... esp with bulky camera equip of the time...

    These sorts of scenes were new then. I also remember that Jacques Cousteau on TV was quite a big deal.

    A strain of the MKBB theme as Largo plots his course...
