    Here Bouquet plays it pretty well.
    Later she‘s often wooden and seems to be uncomfortable

    I think the 2CV chase is inventive and fun.

    Barbel, you must be ahead... 'A Drive In The Country' is starting now

    The location shooting of the chase is far more memorable than I remember...

    Ramie Julienne seems to be enjoying himself!

    "Go backwards forwards quickly" has long been a favourite line for me. :))

    Carole Bouquet has this endearing thing of giving Bond nervous looks for reassurance, and affording the occasional smile :x

    We are not 30 minutes in the movie and Conti has put a firework of fresh and non-repetitive tracks!

    Bond and Melina discuss revenge- ok for time?
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,998MI6 Agent
    That was a brilliant sequence... exciting and good fun.

    Now Moore and Bouquet have a good character scene together.

    Identigraph- adapted from a scene in the GF novel

    The identigraph scene is one of my favourite 'Fleming' moments in the film, as it harks back to a chapter of Fleming's Goldfinger novel. It was called 'identicast' in the novel.

    :)) Moore the voice of reason, before Tim kicks him in the balls and leaps over a balcony...

    Computer-based scenes date very easily, but it's a fun scene.

    The road is just below the Miramonti hotel!

    Bond arriving at hotel, bumping into Ferrara- reminds me of a scene in one of the Pink Panther films.

    Bond driving the Lotus into Cortina looks beautiful.

    The white Range Rover was that Moore‘s private car?

    Either I missed your Sarcasm Higgins, or You have not worked in many offices.
    I refer to it as ‘pulling out the plug time’ in my office. :D

    I know that we have a blonde 'Grant clone' in this movie - Kriegler - but the villain who's really in the tradition of Grant is Locque... an impressive 'silent' villain.

    'Cortina' is one of my favourite Conti cues in this.
