    Bond hides the cheque behind his hotel door number! Bet Fleming wouldn't have thought of that!

    No carpet beater on the genitals!
    But this torture in the bath is just as gruesome!
    Pliers and toenails, not a good mix!

    Bonds about to pass out!
    "Are you gonna kill him, Jimmy?"
    No, just call the police!

    Really enjoyed that watch.
    Will be a regular viewing now I have it on tape.
    So CR '67 has something good about it 🤣🤣🤣

    Great write up, @Mathis1! I need to watch the '54 CR again soon.
    "This gun is completely silent, I suppose!"
    Hopefully I get some time to pop in a Bond film and comment later this week.

    I find it to be very exciting, live television. The dialogue is great too, Charles Burnett also wrote several of the early Hitchcock films.

    Feel like unwinding with some Bond.

    GOLDFINGER

    Robert Brownjohn is kind of a forgotten legend in Bond. The titles to this one and FRWL are among the best, IMO. Completely over shadowed by Binder and Kleinman, I really liked his contribution to the series.

    Damn that swimming pool water is blue.
    Beautiful transfer.
    I like Felix's hat.

    I love that Bond thinks he's enjoying a little holiday and Leiter puts him to work.
    Bond doesn't waste time and immediately is on the case.

    Jill's binoculars are quite strong to see the cards in close up from that height.

    The legendary scene of Jill painted gold.
    Connery is superb here. Clearly upset, yet his performance is subtle. No over the top facial expressions. No B.S.
    Even during the M scene he's upset, yet remains a professional demeanor.
    I love how he straightens himself up when M come over to him: "This isn't personal vendetta.............."
    Brilliant performances by Connery and Lee.

    I love the dinner with M and the Colonel Smithers sequence,
    Wonderful scene, great dialogue.

    Wonderful Ken Adam sets throughout.

    I never tire of this one. It's remaining at my number 1 spot.

    Connery has great rapport with Honor Blackman. Their banter is a delight.

    I still love FRWL, but at this point, from the moment that Bond and Tatiana disembark from the train till we get to the hotel in Paris, my eyes glaze over.

    I make an exception for that final Blofeld scene, that still holds me.

    Great scene. Bernard Lee was a marvellous M, even in the latter films when he was clearly unwell!

    Same for me. Never gets old. First class Bond.

    Yes, absolutely - Bernard Lee was perfect casting. I do think Fiennes is the ideal actor to play M in this era, so the next bloke's got his work cut out. Unless it's Fiennes again (this time as Sir Miles Messervy), obvs... ;)
