Any chance to find M's model?
The Wikipedia article on TB's score also states:
"Because Thunderball's score had, essentially, two main themes to work from, as well as the "Search For Vulcan" cue, the "007 Theme" and the "James Bond Theme," it is arguably [...] the richest of the early Bond scores, thematically speaking."
Thank you for your help, @marc. Unfortunately, the article I'm thinking of is a different one. I remember it also discussed the Goldfinger score in detail, and it was more academic in tone, rather light on opinions. It was also much longer. Still, I did enjoy reading that Ravings in Cinemascope article you posted. Thanks again.
I've researched a bit more but haven't found it.
It's Kara, she even says so later in the film when Bond is poisoned with the chloral hydrate.
"I telephoned Whittaker, Georgi was there. He told me the truth. You're a KGB agent using me to find him and kill him!"
When did Fleming meet Connery for the first time?
(By the way, is there any record of what did they talk about during the filmings?)
At least until after sunset.
No, you're not. Just looked backed through the SP script and it's not really clear why Bond calls him C.
Also the line "This new merger is going to take us out of the darkness, into the light."
Pretty much seals Max Denbigh as a villain. It's one of SP many faults.
Exactly. I got the implied meaning when I first saw the film in the cinema. I think it's pretty clear what it means but I appreciate not everyone will lift that meaning from it on the first viewing. Like all things, it's subjective.
I know it was customized for the stunt. Im talking about in the movie. How is Bond able to do that? Is it even possible to do that in real life?
When?
He sprinkled pixie dust on it, et voilà.
Well you learn something new everyday. The lengths they go to for such a sequence.
Couldn't he had achieved his aims without a world war?
In the novel, Bond gets a great deal of intel on Sir Hilary (including his family tree) as well as de Bleuvilles (de Bleuchamp in the film), from the College of Arms, learns to imitate him, without actually having met Sir Hilary as he's living up in the Scottish Highlands, rarely seen, that is, if my memory serves. Bond also learns the rudiments of heraldry, to back up the cover. Mi6 fixed him up a good passport in Sir Hilary's name as well. That all went a long way to proving his false identity to Blofeld. The film doesn't have any time to get into all that.
To make it look like a terrorist attack on the pipeline, and as Bond says, to cover the plutonium they will use in the submarine in Istanbul.
