A lot of this CR is pretty funny. LIVE television. :D
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.
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.
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'd like to find a jacket like the one Bond wears here and in the Licence Revoked scene.
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.
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.
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.
He's genuinely upset over Vijay's death.
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.
