    As ever, the villain calls our man "Mr Bond"

    The only times I can think of that he doesn't are in GE, and of course in SP.

    I love M's "Well, find out about it, will you?" As if he's more interested in his lunch.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Largo's gift of his greatest treasure as a 'wedding present'... it's pretty obviously a grotesque phallic symbol

    Largo is wonderfully crazy now, and quite scary. Sir Sean is looking good.

    Its frighteningly similar to a much smaller jade geisha statue my Grandparents had.

    Looking at the fabric, it could be a parasol to keep off the sun?
    Lord knows why he has it here! (Shrugs)

    I remember watching this scene (Domino being sold) for the first time, in the cinema, and thinking "WTF?"

    Largo's line, "You were... a very good secret agent. Really!" Similar to how, in DAF, the screenplay riffed on other characters debunking Connery-Bond's myth. But in DAF it all worked with better style.

    Some shameless stereotyping of Arabs here...

    Funny that we have a Montblanc pen with gadgets in AVTAK and OP.

    I seem to remember there was some controversy over the welfare of the horse in this shot of the jump...

    Wasn't the horse dive stunt repeated in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves?
    Feels very Monty Python.

    Billy J Mitchell as the sub Captain, later the Admiral squeezed by Xenia in GE

    (I like to think it's the same character, just promoted)

    "Get onto the line to Washington, Felixsh... Thatsh where the fursht bomb ish!" Maybe it's just because he was breathless, but Connery sounded positively elderly in his delivery of that line.

    Connery in the shower with Kim... maybe anticipating Roger's last scene with Stacey in AVTAK

    And yet, Michel Legrand was a gifted composer. Wonder what went wrong?

    They really are. A poorly realised callback to the TB PTS.
