    Music- “Bond And Rosie” first released 2003

    Gloria Hendry could have sustained a larger role in this movie. She's perky and engaging. Mankiewicz had subsequent regrets about how the character leaves the movie, and how Bond turns on her.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Cos I read the books first, I wondered how they would manage to resurrect Quarrel. It was solved by one word...

    Suppose so, but it's never confirmed

    That always puzzled Me too.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Music- more of "Bond And Rosie"

    I wonder if all Charmer Lines where in the books, or if Moore improvised some of them

    In his LALD diary Moore writes it felt like a Bond film when Gloria Hendry first arrived to the production. :D

    Syd Cain does great set dressing for Jane Seymour's background. Works well with her amazing costumes.

    Most of those lines were in the screenplays, though a few did come from the books. Very little improvising.

    Agreed- it's great reading.

    Music- “Bond Drops In”

    Bond intimidating Rosie into making a choice... she's caught between a rock and a hard place. He doesn't come out of it looking well.

    I just noticed some unsynchronised lip movements from Jane Seymour- wonder if this is where she was dubbed?

    Hang gliders were a new thing at the time.

    The card trick - I like it when Bond is a bastard.

    Costume change on landing is a nice touch, hints at Goldfinger.

    Must have gone through a lot of packs... the look on his face at the confession moment is priceless...

    Bond as comic trickster. Arguably a defining moment for Moore's distinctive interpretation of the character. Connery wouldn't have needed a trick to magnetise her into sexual submission.

    Who says Moore can't act? He's fantastic here.

    Yes. The pillow talk stuff is well played.

    You must be joking! It's much more in DaltonBond's charecter than MooreBond.
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    Not only here.

    Moore is so selfconfident like there was no other.
    He did not need „this never happened to the other feller“
