Nice write-up, cp, much there that I agree with.The Third Man vibe you picked up on is of course deliberate, since a few Bond alumni worked on that film (Bernard Lee, Guy Hamilton, Geoffrey Keen (who's...

Pros:- I like Dalton's Bond. Athletic, tough and interesting. He looks and sounds right. - A good plot. Complex, but not too complex.- I also like the title song. It's not one of the best, but I...

Some would say John Glen is a bit of a boob "Did anybody watch the film not knowing what Dalton looked like and get fooled?"Considering he was on the movie poster it would be difficult to be fooled...

The other two actors were supposed to resemble Roger Moore and George Lazenby, with DaltonRevealed on a windswept mountainside, just like hisPrevious best know character, Heathcliff

I'll have to look out for that next time - either I'm slow on the uptake or the other actors looked nothing like Rog and George!I like the idea of Tim on a windswept mountainside like Heathcliffe. He...
