"...to a place where it's very hot.."
Exactly.
CASINO ROYALE 54
If Ursula is my favorite Vesper, than Peter Lorre is my favorite Le Chiffre.
This looks interesting on my upgraded television.
Barry Nelson is in a great noir called THE MAN WITH MY FACE (1954).
Looks just like he does here. I think his hair is cropped even shorter as Bond.
Had John Payne's MOONRAKER adaptation come to fruition, I think Bond on the big screen might've began as noir.
He was excellent as I remember.
Great double feature as well.
By the way I recommend you read Michael Richardsons 'The Making of Casino Royale, 1967' Its a great read, though Peter Sellers does not come away in a good light in it!
Thanks, @Mathis1.
Yeah, I should get that book. As I understand Peter Sellers didn't get along with Orson, and often skipped out on filming leaving everyone high and dry.
The film really doesn't have much of a narrative structure (though I could say the same for one or two films made today).
“Given the movie’s off-screen backstory, someone should make a film about the making of Cr’67. it would probably be more entertaining.”
As I’ve stated in other threads, CR’67 is very watchable – if you accept the film for what it is: an attractive looking train wreck. Light’em up and just go with the flow man………
:))
You didn't think I'd miss this anniversary, did you?
Love the titles. The summer 1983 airing of this Bond on the ABC network really cememnted by Bond fandom.
Strangways secretary ( very nice indeed) down for the count.
"No, I'm looking for Mr James Bond".
Anyone here care to chime in on that bit of trivia?
007 doesn't whine about the hours.
Stock footage of Seatac.
Jack Lord is great.
I love as he opens the phone booth door, looks at his watch, then closes the door.
Bond swings with his right and hits with his left.
Todd Bridges did that to Terry Kiser on DIFF'RENT STROKES that one time.
"I like people who's friends of people".
Today he'd max out his Facebook friends list at 5000.
Hold it!
Gently bud, gently.
Yes, and that includes SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.
The Jamaica Jump Up scene!
Sean Connery's facial expressions make it more action packed, and exciting.
I like to mimick that Connery expression any time I change gears.
I always get a bit "bug-eyed" during this!! :))
I just finished watching DN on Amazon Prime (even though I have both DVD and Blu-Ray versions, I wanted to see what “streaming” looked like). They actually have a thing called “X-Ray” in the top left-hand corner of the screen that lists the actor and/or the musical cue being played. Unfortunately, the actors that asks for Mr. Bond wasn’t given and nothing stands out to be on imdb.
The thing that always stands out about DN (IMO) is how the film immediately sets to work on the story. No backstory (How did Miss Moneypenny come to work for M? Who is M anyway? No, except for a brief mention of Bond’s prior service we get on with the story. The characters are presented to us “fully-formed.”
I like that.
