I first saw her in Centennial.
Yes, Armand Assante was no ones idea of Mike Hammer! Ralph Meeker on the other hand..!
Interestingly, there was a TV remake at the time called MARGIN FOR MURDER with Kevin Dobson as Mike Hammer that had more of the right tone.
Kevin Dobson as in Crocker of Kojak fame?
Yes. He was a pretty good Mike Hammer, I thought.
Jay Bernstein produced the film and later went on to produce the Stacy Keach Mike Hammer series.
Barbara Carrera also appeared in one of the Stacy Keach episodes.
I vividly remember the day my folks took me to see this one. Sunny autumn Saturday afternoon showing. Lots of fun that day.
It was released this side of the world at Christmas 1983! I went to see it St Stephen's Day! Think it was delayed, if I recall they wanted it to go head to head with OP!
I remember my folks and I leaving the cinema, after a matinee of OP and my Dad telling me Connery was coming back as Bond in a "different" Bond film.
Gave me something to look forward to.
That's my headcanon, too.
I'm totally engrossed by it each time - the spectacle of it, witnessing the return of some of the recognizable ninjas from earlier, how much choreography is going on at once on screen, regardless of how choppy it may seem. It's damn exciting.
While I understand the rationale for using CGI in modern films, there are times when I miss the days of practical effects. For example, just knowing that the Volcano set in YOLT or the bridge in “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (1957) are real creations (not even scale models) leaves me in awe of the job these filmmakers did.
In honor of Connery's face mask during the PTS, I wore one today when I went out.
Bond is bored as M lectures him on diamonds.
I love the M scene here with Sir Donald.
This film really tends to get thrashed on by Bond fans, but I love it.
Never tire of this one. Connery has great chemistry with Jill St John and Charles Gray has grown on me as Blofeld.
Wint and Kidd are fabulous as well.
New Blu-ray player and am seeing how this film looks.
My other player stopped loading Blu-rays. I probably used it every day for 6 years.
As much as I loved that player (my girlfriend had given it to me for Christmas in 2014), the colors and sound on this new machine is superb.
Wint and Kidd walk off hand in hand. Cut on the ABC Sunday Night Movie.
Lois is quite lovely here, I must say.
Bond is thrilled to be single again as he looks ready to party hard as he drives off.
Tiffany has long nails (oddly, except her thumb nails). She must go to the same manicure as Magda.
Q and Bond are finally getting along when 007 hangs up on him.
"You've just killed James Bond!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She says that line as if she were talking about Sinatra or somebody. Everyone knows who Bond is by now.
For years my least favorite Leiter, but now I feel he has wonderful chemistry with Sean.
The great Sid Haig.
The guy sitting next to Sean with the mustache is pretty funny. Never noticed him before. he has some great facial expressions.
Always liked the casino scenes in this film. They feel fresh and not cliched.
Always loved it, myself.
Plus I was reminded of this one.
In honor of Barry Nelson's birthday today I'm enjoying his Bond outing.
Linda Christian is great. Excellent Bond girl.
Bond checks the hotel room for listening devices.
Then turns up the Chopin while he makes out with Valerie.
I'm digging Nelson's haircut.
I wonder if his dinner jacket might be a dark gray?
One of my favorite actors.
Love that line delivery. He looks good with the cigarette dangling from his mouth.
My favorite line in all of Bondom.
I never tire of Peter Lorre.
Nelson might have made a decent Philip Marlowe or Mike Hammer back in those days.
I love the film noir he did THE MAN WITH MY FACE. I'll have to find a copy of that one.
Suddenly in the mood for this particular outing.
I must say I do love M's office here.
I like Max Denbigh. C.
I think anyone who's ever had a job in which their employers went through a merger can emphasize with Bond's immediate disdain for C.
In my experience, any time one's company is bought out, taken over, merged, etc..................time to update that resume.
Actually happened with me recently, and oddly I was promoted.
Still, I loathe corporate take overs.
Bond and Tanner hanging out
