I wish I could share your optimism given the past three films have just been extended adverts for the Sony Vaio and Xperia.
THIS! Big Way!!
I am exaggerating, but a high ranking civil servant is not necessarily computer savy. Oh, and the current C had his pictures on his daughter's Facebook page.
For some reason I'm not that surprised.

<font color=blue size=7><b>McClory stole the character of Fatima Blush from TB's Fiona Volpe.</b></font>
PS - TRUE
However, isn't it somewhat ironic that McClory sued the hell out of Fleming and EON, on many occasions over many decades no less, for something as ridiculous as for example Bond going under water in TSWLM or LTK, while he himself took an iconic character from the movie TB, when said character wasn't even in the book?
What I cant recall is whether she was a femme fatale or not so I think theres is a fair case that she was copying Fiona but it is not 100% accurate as shes is there in some of the scripts.
Hard to say as they are both pretty strong characters! I loved Fatima Blush! But? I love Fiona Volpe more! With that i am going to have to sit on the fence on this one?
Fiona Volpe is not featured in the novel, in any way.
I didnt say that she was.
What I mean is that the femme fatale is not featured in the novel, which casts at least some doubt to the paternity of the character. If Fleming invented her, why didn't he use her?
In any case, Fleming in his books had more ugly and sexually neutral villainesses than femmes fatales. The femmes fatales really came with the movies.
We give you an argument towards Spottiswoode's incompetent direction, and all you have to say in rebuttal is "who cares?"
