"Spend the money quickly, Mr Bond."
"I intend to, Kamal Khan."
(Khan nods)
I love that interaction.
I didn't get to finish posting while watching OCTOPUSSY today as my better half joined me to watch the film. She loves Roger.
Anyway it was a fun time watching this, my most viewed Bond.
Good one!
DR NO
Three Blind Mice.
One of my favorite elements of DR NO is the style.
Strangways looks old school and dashing.
Even he looks bad a$$.
So, we rented them often. I'd record some off of the ABC network, but DN was one I preferred to rent on a Friday night.
He said Mt Rainier could be seen in the background. I'm skeptical on this trivia, as to me, the angle looks wrong. I wonder if any Bond experts here could confirm or dispel this information?
When I was a kid about to enter high school, my family had bought a house. So we moved out of our old apartment, and I had my choice of any bedroom. Initially I picked a smaller one because the paint job reminded me of Bond's flat in DN. However, I went with a much larger room. I wanted to decorate it like Bond's suite in this film. Never had the right furniture, though. It came with an old console stereo cabinet My grandmother eventually bought me a roll top desk that looked vintage. I started dressing up a bit as well.
I do like Connery in DARBY O GILL. Some actors can pull off. Connery, Mitchum....the list is few.
I wonder if that tree Sean leans on while singing still exists?
In the Barbara Walters interview Connery clearly states he wore a "two piece" on DN.
In another interview around that time he said he had a "mass of black curly hair" when he started.
Many argue he didn't start wearing a rug until GF, and that his thinning spots were painted out in the first two films. Somewhere on this site there was a hair thread.
Either way I think it looks damn good in DR NO, and is considerably longer here than in the other films.
When I was around 12 I went to a barber shop with the intention of getting a Connery/Bond cut. I showed him a pic of Sean in THUNDERBALL.
We rented DR NO that night and once we got to the "I think they were on their way to a funeral" shot, I realized it wasn't cut like Sean's at all. Buzzed way too close on the sides (kind of like Craig's in SP). In addition, the guy had squared it.
Years later when I was doing theater, many shows tended to be set in the'50's. I would be very specific on getting the right haircuts for the period. I found a barber who had owned his shop since 1946, and could replicate any haircut. I even took a buddy of mine, a fellow cast member to make sure his '50's do wasn't screwed up.
I do like Jack Lord's reaction shot as Bond and make out.
THE END.
and for the first time we get the gunbarrel image at the end.
Just enough time before work for some classic Sean.
The white dinner jacket is timeless here.
