A perfect example of what's wrong with the movie. She knows who James Bond is, Blofeld is now a buffoon and his antagonism is completely forgotten...
I actually like that scene. Tiffany is breaking the 4th wall. It's a wink to the audience, since by this time, everyone in the world knew who James Bond was. So it was a bit of fun. DAF is a great homage to the series in a sense. It's just like Lazenby's "this never happened to the other fella" or Baron Samedi in the final shot in LALD.
Except she is not breaking the fourth wall: she is very much in it, not speaking to the audience or to herself with the audience in confidence, but to Bond.
Mankiewicz later estimated the novel provided around 45 minutes of the film's final running time
Can anyone see how Fleming's novel provided 45 mins running time of DAF ?!
Because I cant see it.
Also,while im here,i'm still all for CraigBond taking on the Spang brothers and other mobsters in America, as a stand-alone film for BOND25....
I agree the planned ending is better along with the Spangs. Closer to any Fleming material is best. The weather balloon idea sounds like YOLT the novel.
...and the salt mine demise sounds a bit like Dr No in the bird guano
I'd like some of what Fleming was smoking when he wrote Dr. No. It's the most bat**** of all the novels.
Its also brilliant.
Thanks, @barryt007! 'll give it a read :-)
