Em...Thanks for the comment and thanks for reading!<br /><br />Emotionally, I liked the movie more than rationally. I kept feeling like there was more and more of an escalation without developing the character (or, honestly, the plot) much. But there are a number of fun moments in this one.<br /><br />Thanks again for reading! Next up: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service!"W.L.

This film and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE probably hold the number of most Bond sex-conquests in one film (4 girls in both).<br /><br />For its flaws, the film has its high points: for the first time the Bond heroines have elevated from damsel-in-distresses to capable and skilled companions. The battle at the volcano stands as my favorite Bond battle (the scene of the ninjas dropping down is iconic), and John Barry- as usual- gives a great music score (especially the exciting Space March theme). But it also continued the Big-Budget-sci-fi-gadget-formula (started by GOLDFINGER) that distanced the series from the Bond of Ian Fleming. The next film would try a return to the original FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE formula, but after that it would be a decade of GOLDFINGER-formula Bond films. <br /><br />Sean Connery had planned to make this film his last, something he would repeat twice.angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.com
