Fewer paparazzi and prying press in the mountains, so Japan was worse. A couple months at Piz Gloria might actually have been soothing. It would have been interesting to see how Peter Hunt and Connery would have interacted.
But Hunt wasn’t slated to direct the fifth film. Was Lewis Gilbert always in the frame, or did Terence Young or Guy Hamilton turn it down?
The thought of Young directing Connery in OHMSS. Wow!
Now there’s a thought. ;)
Now that would have been an interesting film ;) @Benny
I like Diana's portrayal of Tracey. To me she plays it perfectly. The tough veneer hiding a fragile lady. Her arc is rather interesting for a Bond "girl".
And The Avengers was, if we are honest, a bit of hokum. Not exactly Shakespeare.
So, OHMSS was every bit as important for her career as it was Lazenby's. Just as much her big break.
Avenger girl Honor Blackman had a much more lucrative career prior to her Bond film.
Diana was great in OHMSS, I won't deny that and Cubby has said her experience was important, but what exactly was he drawing on to come to that conclusion? Emma Peel?
She had done quite a bit of theatre and TV work way before OHMSS,Nackers,I think he meant that.
You mean I'm probably going in far deeper than necessary? :-O
My wife was right.
Arnt they always ?! ;)
I've often wondered this myself. At first I thought it would be silly if the mannequin had a loaded gun. There's nothing to suggest that Bond climbed down into the darkness to retrieve his gun. So the mannequin's gun being loaded makes sense. Especially as the fun house was a training arena for Scaramanga, and of course his prey.
Just thought some people could shed some light on this topic. Thanks!
What are you on to, exactly? Seems to be the same information regarding that scene that's been mentioned since 2012.
@Creasy47 read the hollywood reporter very carefully under a microscope I think they might have pulled a brofeld with bond or if they didn't it was awfully close im getting panicky either its bond pretending to get out of the situation and isn't bisexual written for skyfall or Bond isn't pretending and using it for the first time ive either just discovered a nightmare or dangerously close to being one. yeah the Bond character isn't gay but that doesn't mean they didn't change it on film like blofeld this is very worrying bond isn't gay on screen but they might have gave him a bisexual backstory did Mendes screwup the franchise twice and we didn't realize it? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/james-bond-gay-flirtation-parental-386864 Bisexual Bond and Brofeld? read the this very carefully " there is a wink-wink, arched-eyebrow exchange between the two, in which Bardem slowly unbuttons Craig's shirt and the famously libidinous agent smiles as he hints at maybe having had previous experience in same-sex carnal relations. It would seem a first for 007, but Logan doesn't think it's much of a stretch.
"Some people claim it’s because I’m, in fact, gay but not true at all," Logan told The Hollywood Reporter at the NYC premiere of the film, thrown by Tribeca Film Institute. "Sam and I were discussing, there were so many scenes where Bond goes mano-a-mano with the villain, whether it’s Dr. No or Goldfinger or whatever, and there’s been so many ways to do a cat-and-mouse and intimidate Bond, and we thought, what would truly make the audience uncomfortable is sexual intimidation; playing the sort of homoerotic card that is sort of always there subtextually with characters like Scaramanga in Man With the Golden Gun or Dr. No. So we just decided that we should play the card and enjoy it."
Whether the homoeroticism is a new card or a jack tucked under his tuxedo sleeve,"
Yep, and some of the press at the time reported that Craig Bond was a crybaby who slept with men. You got to love the press.
@Creasy47 so your opinion is silva is pretending to be gay and bond is playing along?
@Birdleson I wouldn't an issue if they didn't screw up the character i can have an opinion to at least look into more and try to understand it.
That's not my opinion - it's what happened. Bond is obviously playing along - whether Silva's bisexual or simply playing along, too, is another matter, but wholly irrelevant to the question of Bond. We know neither character is gay.
@Creasy47 so its not a Brofeld situation with Bond where they rewrote some backstory of Bond's character so im taking it literally because im a literal thinker so its hard for me to understand you see
Q is gay as we know. It was Bond he was spying on in the shower, not Stacy. Snooper was probably built as a gaybot, too.
@Thunderfinger very funny those were the nonserious days when that was played for laughs they made skyfall the craig era serious.
The soap?
