    FRWL marks the first time an actor/actress from an earlier Bond film (DN, obviously) returns playing a different part. Who is it?

    Well guys, the clue is in the question. The first actor/actress we see in FRWL (no, not Bob Simmons as stated above) is... Sean Connery. However, he is NOT playing James Bond as he did in DN (and will later in this film) but "Man pretending to be James Bond".

    Before you hit me, I didn't get it either without massive amounts of clues from The Cat.

    Haha!

    It was so obviously a trap... (as Kronsteen might have put it!)

    Hmmm, FRWL 4K was recently included for Amazon Prime members for April, but it seems they have reneged! Cads! My back-up, my DVD is ready!

    John Barry's 'Stalking'... immediately introduces the sound of his Bond scores!

    Connery is good at playing this nervous other character

    No, they're made for walking.

    Apparently Cubby asked Barry to write the score for FRWL but Harry had asked Lionel Bart to write the song, here arranged by Barry to incorporate the Bond Theme and his own brief intro/outro called “James Bond Is Back”

    Maurice Binder had the best job in the industry!

    The organ played by Alan Haven is prominent here but not on the OST version

    Robert Brownjohn's title sequence. For my money, the most pornographic in the entire series (even taking into account Binder's nipple shots, elsewhere)

    Directed by Terence Young. Probably his best directorial effort, period.

    Won't argue with that.

    That reminds me- Gymkata, there's a short scene later in the film that I wouldn't mind as a gif. Asking for a friend.

    John Barry's Spectre motif. It'll return later.

    Vladek Sheybal. Love how Kronsteen refuses congratulatory handshakes from chess spectators.

    Did Bianchi have a double in that scene?

    Kronsteen‘s suit is crap
    Don‘t they have decent tailors in Sweden?
