    He was stationed at Ft Knox when they filmed there. I played some of the audio commentary from the DVD for him and he thought that he may have been the sergeant that Guy Hamilton referred to.

    those are some good choices @IcePak I certainly like the Citroen chase, Dr Kaufman, and the fencing too.

    your "momemt" from OHMSS is probably about twenty minutes but its all good and hard to split into separate components, probably the best extended chain of action sequences in the series. And I always get a thrill when he's locked in the machine room because I know the movies about to radically change gears with this moment, like that pause at the top of a roller coaster before the first plunge.
