The latter. Sorry.
But Felix and his boys were still there, and they would have known if Bond died as they kept tabs on Goldfinger's ranch in Kentucky where 007, Pussy and the rest of his guys were.
Is that supposed to be sarcasm?
:D
no
First of all, it was Mr. White whom killed Le Chiffre in the film. For the second, why would SMERSH have anything to do with the movie version. As Puskin said in TLD: "It was a Beria operation under Stalins time
With other words, no McClory didn't own the rights to SMERSH because that was a real section of the Soviet Red Army during the 1940's . It was later disbanded in 1946 and KGB took over it's duties again.
Then your question is quite worrying. SMERSH was the (fictional) name for Soviet intelligence. Given that the Soviet state was broken up when the Berlin Wall came down and thus effectively ending communism, SMERSH became a defunct institution.
I thought that the obvious reason why the Soviets didn't appear as the villains in CR. They no longer exist.
Jesus. Is the level we are at nowadays? Try reading a history book, or at least some Fleming.
lol I undertand now lol. I feel like an idiot
To punish us horribly, I can only assume. I believe EON weren't happy with OHMSS's overall commercial performance and thought the franchise needed a change of course that included drawing Sir Sean back in.
What he said.
One can only assume that EON considered we'd never had it so good with the first 6 films, so they deemed it appropriate to give us an absolute stinker for number 7.
I'm curious about this one because they chose the title before OHMSS' release and the eventual change in tone of DAF.
Of the choices they had (assuming they weren't yet looking toward the short stories): LALD, MR, DAF, and TMWTGG, I probably would have chosen TMWTGG.
Because DAF takes place in USA. As did GF. And the producers wanted to bring back the Goldfinger-sense if style again, hence their choice of DAF.
Another question. Maybe on bluray its easier to see but on dvd in MWTGG did Bond suffocate or murder Nick Nack at the end, because he isn't moving a bit when it shows him up in the mast.
They weren't real prostitutes. They were models. But maybe this will answer your question.

Nick Nack: "Let me out you big Bully!"
Bond: "Shutup."
Then it shows a disappointed looking Nick Nack hung up in a basket.
Why do any of the characters do anything they do in CR67?
@Murdock I'm pretty sure there was medicine involved. When Bond is in bed with Ruby and the hypnosis comes on, she says "its part of the cure." I always took that as meaning it was only a portion of the cure and not the whole thing. Also in the initial meeting with Blofeld Bond inquires about the labs and Blofeld tells him "the cure is not entirely psychological." I mean, they were making Virus Omega there too, but then Blofeld also references having caused a foot-and-mouth outbreak last year with the Virus Omega, which would mean that they'd already had a less-powerful version for a year, so they didn't have to create the virus from scratch while the Angels were there; so i think they would have had time to create medicines for the girls to use.
When Bond is coping the correspondence between Gumbold and Blofeld the address of Piz Gloria is attached to one of the letters.

Why do Bond and Mi6 fail to follow up on this, rather obvious piece of information?
An interesting point @Benny, but you forget that the problem was not finding where Blofeld was, it was getting him out of Switzerland so he could be arrested without violating Swiss sovereignty. And MI6 did follow up on this information by sending Bond there. They only needed to go to Sir Hillary to tell him not to go to Piz Gloria.
