    Is this the first movie when Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny is more of an aunt figure than a potential gf for Bond?
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    David Hedison is for my money one of the best Felixes… Felii… Leiters!!!

    (a) He was on a promotional tour in the USA for DAF

    (b) Harry & Cubby decided not to include Q

    (c) He couldn’t get away from his TV show “Follyfoot” (untrue, he arranged 3 weeks off from it)

    Mankiewicz considered David Hedison to be a potentially returning Leiter actor in a series of Moore Bond films, but they couldn't make the Leiter character fit into the next few screenplays.

    I agree. Perhaps he shoud have stayed in the role from LALD to LTK.

    I trust you have all read AJB’s interview with Yaphet Kotto?

    I can understand Yaphet Kotto's reservations about playing a black Bond villain. There's an arguably racist implication that behind every smooth and sophisticated Kananga there's a feral/fly Mr Big. Still, the same contradiction in character make-up is true of other Bond villains, I guess.

    Martin's arrangement of the Theme - one of the best

    Bond skipped spy school class the day they were teaching how to use clothes to blend in.

    Music- “Bond Meets Solitaire” Most extensive use of Martin’s main theme
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,965MI6 Agent
    The whole section of the movie in the novelty shop and car park feels a little small scale/ 'TV movie'. The 'tailing' sequence picks up the pace again. The driver with the wolverine side burns... same style sideburns as a middle-aged stuntman heavy in the DAF PTS/OHMSS.

    Julius W. Harris superb

    My name is Bond, James Bond

    Performed with confidence and arrogance, like there was never somebody else!
