R.I.P. Richard Johnson. :(
Condolences, Major. I heard the news and thought of you. I even updated my profile picture to honor his memory.
Yes, Johnson's films were genre classics.
DTTM. Doesn't get much better than that.
Greetings, my Canadian friend. :) I've kind of been taking a break from the world of Bond for the last year and a half and trying to keep spoiler-free for SPECTRE. However, I did go see Goldfinger on a big cinema screen for the first time today. In fact, it's the first James Bond film made prior to 1977 that I've seen on the big screen. I hope you're still the big defender of Tiffany Case and the 1962-1974 Harry Saltzman era of Bond cinema that I remember.
I agree on DTTM. Its sequel not so much.
I was aware of Johnson's age, but the news still surprised me. I watched DTTM yesterday. Fantastic film. Dashing hero, beautiful women (esp Sommer, who can be both villainous and playful in equal measure), sinister villains, humour ("That's what comes from letting success get to your head") and a little dose of globetrotting. SGD, I think Johnson is still great, but the film verges a little too into campness for my taste. Johnson doesn't display the charsima or charm that he does in DTTM, but if you are up for a more sombre spy thriller, I would also recommend 'Danger Route'.
Excellent choice on the avatar, btw.
He also looks a bit like Timothy Dalton in later years with that beard.
...and he was actually in the Royal Navy too.
Thank you, Major. I'll need to check 'Danger Route'.
It's currently on youtube:
Interesting that it has CR'67's Miss Moneypenny in it. Along with Carol Lynley, Sylvia Sims and Miss Diana Dors. Quite an impressive female supporting cast.
Yes, it's true.

He was huge in Germany.
When I was little (maybe 7 or 8), I didn't know whether to crush on him or whether I wanted to be like his character. The Winnetou movies were my in into adult adventure fare, and I went on to read all the books (some as many as 7 times) on which this character was based.
Pierre Brice will always have a special place in my heart.
I am absolutely in love with his Wrath of Khan score. He composed many other scores such as The Rocketeer, Star Trek III, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and The Amazing Spider-Man amongst many others.
His passing is totally out of nowhere. RIP.
One of his earliest and best.
Personally I love his score to Jumanji
