    One of my favourite scenes in the entire franchise, Bond's arrival at the casino. Just that.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Have you seen "Dr Jeckyl & Sister Hyde"? She's wonderful in that

    I have. She was a cave girl in one of Hammer's prehistoric fantasy films too.

    She borrowed them from Orson Welles

    A quirky background figure of the sort found in Fleming.

    My Mum let Me stay up to watch that when I was a kid. Amazing film! (We were both Hammer fans from the off.)

    Connery and Auger look terrific together on the dancefloor.

    James and Felix seem about to have a word or two, when Largo and Domino leave, but it cuts quickly- owing to scenes being re-arranged

    He usually only uses that special power when moderating :D

    Now comes something that I don‘t understand.

    Why is Bond punching Leiter to prevent that he‘s calling him 007 but later chats casually with him about it in front of the guy?

    Peter Hunt flipped the shot of the receptionist so she was looking in the correct direction as Bond mounted the stairs.

    Hotel apartment set is badly dressed. Carpet looks cheap and badly fitted.

    Van Nutter is a good Felix, IMHO, though the script does him no favours

    Cos by that time he realises the guy in question is only a little fish?

    "There you go, smiler!" I wonder whether that's a Connery improvisation.

    The scene where Bond punches Leiter for almost saying 007, then he says 007 himself is a classic! :))
