  Adam really did elevate this film to another level.

  
  Agreed, stunning set!

  
  His use of shadows and perspective make it look a lot more grand than it really was --- which is very smart when you have a limited budget. Almost NOIR like.

  
  The first time I watched this one was on a black and white TV set. It did look a bit noir like.

  I think the last "Hotel check lusts after Bond" scene was in TB (IIRC).

  I'd like to see that return with the next actor.

  I love the Geiger counter. Bond's only gadget.

  I love the back projection. Reminds me of a 1940's serial.

  Although I had seen a few other Bond films, this is the one that got me hooked.

  One of the best scenes for me, Bond is ice cold doing his job.

  Bond bates Dent to go for his gun.

  Dent is a great secondary villain.

  Agreed. This scene must have been shocking in 1962, but it really drives home the point that Bond is an agent with a license to kill.

  Brutal for the time though in the context of what led up to the kill understandable, they keep trying to kill Bond. 'Kill or be Killed...'
