Those who think TSWLM was showing women as equals are kidding themselves. Sorry boys.Please take no offence. Honor Blackman or a Diana Rigg did that years ago. Barbara Bach in TSWLM was a tiny notch better than Jinx. Look, I have to be honest, bu…

LTK is a classic. I was knocked over with how different and brave it was. It took decades for it to find it's audience. But so did OHMSS another controversial entry of it's time. If you read Fleming then it does delight. Yes, it is set in an era way…

Just one persons opinion. The weak minded readers will take it seriously but someone like me could give a flying f what some dweeb thinks. Too many journalists pass themselves off as Bond experts and probably know little about Fleming let alone read…

BAIN123 wrote: @acoppola. I'm a fan of GE but, in retrospect, he probably does look a little on the 'puny' side at times - especially when he was wearing the green camouflage outfit towards the end. Still, he would have looked even more "lite" …
