Cigar lady? I am trying to remember if the novelization by Benson had any additional info on this.
Probably her.
The latter.
@Birdleson ok
Nothing. Goldfinger was trying to put Bond off his swing. Trying to cheat...unsuccessfully.
It's bad form to speak while a player is in the process of hitting the ball. just like Bond dropping the gold bar on the green was bad form in that it distracted from Goldfinger's putt.
Its simple really. Bond knew Tiffany was the next link in the pipe line and he wanted to get to Tiffanys place before the killers did. Unfortunately Bond got there after they did but the killers mistakenly killed Plenty thinking it was Tiffany.
But I don't think DAF holds up well to inspection on many levels.
I love the dialogue of DAF!
Okay I have a question. In TB Bond reports for the mission briefing and is clearly wearing a Blue suit and tie. He appears very tanned as well. Then the next scene when M wants to send him to Station C Canada he's wearing a brown suit and tie and doesn't look as tanned to my eye.
Is this a continuity error? Or did M wait a day to dispatch his agents around the globe? Hence Bond wearing the different colour suit?
Second TB question...Why would SPECTRE give NATO 7 days to pay them off? To my mind the shorter the window the greater likelihood for success for SPECTRE. You are basically giving the NATO countries lots of time to find the bombs.
It is, of course, but I was wondering if there was a poster with that Lazenby photo... ?
Spend the money quickly, Mr. Bond.
@thedove This explains it well it was wint and kid according to this https://www.007.com/focus-of-the-week-tiffany-case/
I've watched the finger scene so many times and can't see the CGI trick.
When Bond starts to lick the first finger, you can see that two of Vesper's fingers drop from the scene subtly. But his mouth isn't contorted or changed in anyway and they can't fake it with editing as it's done in one-take.
Anyone know where the seem is here?
"34. When Bond finds Vesper huddled in the shower, he sits next to her to comfort her. This was shot with a single take to capture the emotion of the scene. Bond kisses and gently sucks on her fingers, which was meant to be comforting and soothing. However, in the actual take, he sucks on all four of her fingers, which Campbell felt gave it a creepy “fetish quality.” The visual effects department was able to remove two of the finger sucks to make it less creepy."

@doubleonothing , @St_George , and @RussianMummy ... see #23.
They'd need time to get the "cashing in" operation up.
Well, I did know the reports that Craig couldn't 'drive stick' were baloney. They used more than two Aston Martins for CR, though. A handful, I believe (like for QOS). I mean, they wrote-off one or two for the crazy barrel-roll stunt, which was pulled off by, well, effectively launching it with explosive (forgive me, the correct terminology there escapes me right now ;) ).
As for #24 in that list, the two freaky-deaky poker-playing 'bodies' were supposed to be from a Bodyworlds exhibit (the baby of the eccentric Gunther von Hagens) in Miami, which I believe was fictional. The exhibit's been all over the world, though; I went to it a few years before CR was made when it was in London. It was a genuinely nauseating experience; mildly nauseating, that is. A curious if weirdly fascinating thing.

Indeed. In reality, Eva Green only has two fingers on that hand. In every shot in which that hand appears in the film - and, indeed, in every one of her films - a full hand of fingers was CGI-ed. True story. It's an expensive business casting Eva Green.
All right, not really; I can't back that up. Would be good, though, wouldn't it? ;)
I have seen that exhibit. The one here in The Couv anyway. I suppose they are not all the same. But I agree.... it was fascinating and then a bit off-putting to say the least.
I think in this shot, the second finger is also CGI. Craig must have sucked/kissed two fingers at once and they digitally made it appear as if it was one
He he sucked more than one and with the help of the hand placement and some CGI, they have made it appear as if it's one.
I'm kinda obsessed with subtle CGI and visual effects tricks in films.
