"My dear girl, don't
flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King and
country. You don't think it
gave me any pleasure, do you?"
- James Bond, to
Fiona
Why watch this? The
only real James Bond takes on SPECTRE once again.
Plot Summary:
James Bond is dispatched to the Bahamas to recover two stolen
nuclear warheads hijacked by the criminal organization SPECTRE.
He must stop SPECTRE, led by the ruthless Emilio Largo, from
using the bombs to extort the Western powers for a massive
ransom. Bond teams up with CIA agent Felix Leiter and Largo's
mistress, Domino, to uncover the plot and prevent a nuclear
catastrophe.
Dad's Preview:
I think part of my kinship with this film is that my sister had
the soundtrack on vinyl. The album cover was so freaking cool,
with black and orange-clad scuba divers battling each other with
spear guns, all under water with retro mini-submarines. Connery
is cool as a cucumber as the world's greatest super spy. Here, he
squares off against the evil Largo. The undersea scenes are
action-packed, and must have been really hard to film!
