This is the only Bond villain part I can imagine Peter 'Grand Moff Tarkin' Cushing pulling off... he would have been equally brilliant with that dialogue.
Not sure why Bond distinguishes between 'people's and 'skills'.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

The sexy intimacy of Holly helping strap in Bond reminds me of how Masters was fussed over by the air stewardess he later married - sexily adjusting his safety belt on the plane - in Fleming's short story, 'Quantam of Solace'.

Throwback to the traction table ordeal in TB, but here, instead of taking advantage afterwards (blackmailing Patricia Fearing into sex) Bond plays it straight... stumbling away from Holly without a quip. A great choice by Lewis Gilbert.

The presentation of these aristocratic lovelies... who leave just as soon as they're introduced: in the spirit of the Miss World beauty contests that millions of people used to watch on TV.

The death of Corinne is powerful and disturbing. The cinematography and Barry's composition. The sadism of it makes me wonder whether the actress's 'Story of O' credentials were indeed in Cubby's mind.

Does the guide recognise 007, or is she just distracted by a handsome man?
She's one of Drax's girls. He must have given them all some 'undercover' briefings. He talks later, on the space ship, about fathering a dynasty; presumably he has a mate of his own from among the bevy of space lovelies!

Not sure.
Not sure.
Probably. It was her biggest role. She was also in Emmanuelle soft porn movies, I think, but I'm not sure of the dates off-hand.

I would have loved that! Big Cushing fan.
True, hadn't thought about that
Never been. Would love to visit once our current situation is all over.
Yup, that's her
