    Barry Nelson was in a great noir called THE MAN WITH MY FACE. I love the Golden Age of Hollywood.

    A lot of this CR is pretty funny. LIVE television. :D

    I remember when I first saw this this school year had just finished and I was looking forward to summer break..........and the new Bond movies, LTK.
    An article, in I believe Cinefantastique announced this TV Bond was finally available on VHS.
    I was extremely excited to see this. I loved black and white classic and was really getting into noir. This Bond fit the bill as far as I was concerned.
    Bond and Le Chiffre are gambling. Nelson has some pretty amusing facial expressions here.

    Bond is stressed out looking for Ms. Mathis.

    Letter looking for Ms Mathis is even funnier. :D

    Great minds think alike @ToTheRight
    I was actually thinking of doing a "comments along" on this version of CR, but never got around to it!

    I only recall seeing Nelson in one film, and that's his brief appearance in 'The Shining'!

    He often had supporting roles: A GUY NAMED JOE, and JOHNNY EAGER are among my favorites.

    Back again with LICENCE TO KILL. I really should be watching a Barabara and Michael era film in honor of their upcoming award, but since they were involved on this one.......I'm satisfied :D

    Here we go with Leiter's torture. I love the intensity here.

    DELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I vividly remember every scene in the cinema. Funny to realize that was 35 years ago.
    Subtract 35 years from LTK and we're looking at THE CAINE MUTINY, REAR WINDOW, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LOGOON, etc.

    I love the Krest Warehouse sequence.
    I'd like to find a jacket like the one Bond wears here and in the Licence Revoked scene.

    Dalton really throws away the "Bond, James Bond" line in this one. I do like his delivery. Not sure I like it being in a wide shot, though.

    I always liked Don Stroud.

    Bond looks intense as he questions Pam. Great scene.

    Love the Bond theme played by Sanchez's bullets.

    .........and another viewing of this one under my belt. Remains one of my favorites.

    Are you sure about that last line, mate?
    The way it bounces up and down your lists? 😂😂
    Joking aside, an absolute cracker of a Bond film!

    I always loved the way Dalton delivers it in both this and TLD. It's just natural and believable, I hate it when it's laboured ( Hello Brossa!!)

    Hahaha! It does tend to get sacrificed in my rankings now and then. Lately I'm preferrng it to TLD, but I really love both films. I'n due for yet another re-ranking as it's been two weeks. :D
    I agree about his "Bond James Bond" readings. I prefer the natural approach as opposed to making the line a huge event.

    OCTOPUSSY

    I'm playing hooky tomorrow and calling out from work. I do have a legit reason. But I might as well enjoy a Bond movie tonight.
    Nostalgia for this one...........I saw this on the big screen in 1983, I believe during the second week of it's run. An amazingly fun afternoon in the cinema with my parents.Two years later we got our first VHS player and OCTOPUSSY was the first movie we purchased.

    Great memories.

    I remember Bond pulling up to the gas station in the Bede jet got a big cheer from the audience.

    I really like Robert Brown as M. I loved the tribute to him in NTTD. He's a fantastic M, IMO.

    Orlov's silhouette reminds me of Max Schreck in Nosferatu at one moment during his speech.

    One of my favorite casino sequences.

    Great memories @ToTheRight.

    Octopussy was the first "new" Bond film that I saw in theaters. For some reason, I was off from my summer job on Monday, August 29, 1983. Visited my mother (at her job) for a few minutes and then headed to Times Square (NYC) for an early afternoon showing. It was then off to Shea Stadium to watch a doubleheader pitting my NY Mets against the LA Dodgers (we lost both games).

    Still, this made up for it .....

    Now if that really expensive robe that they were selling in the 007 store actually came with the lovely Maud Adams, I may have been tempted. :x

    She is still the only "Bond Girl" of the Moore era that I think he really had great chemistry with. IMO, of course.

    Anyway, enjoy the rest of your viewing.

    Great story, @Dwayne! That sounds like an amazing day. Bond and then the Mets. I love New York.

    Bond escapes the crocodile and tricks Octopussy.
    He's genuinely upset over Vijay's death.

    I love the confrontation with Orlov. Great scene.

    Roger really sells the urgency Bond has during the bomb defusion sequence.

    That hit the spot for tonight. Got my Bond fix.

    Robert Brown was a great M. Just watched TLD on Sunday, he's terrific alongside Dalton!

    I love that Roger Moore had recommended him for the role. I should look for Ivanhoe. He also appeared on The Saint.
