Fleming had many potential titles in his notes which he considered using like "My Enemy's Enemy is my Friend". Eon have access to Fleming's story, idea notes etc.

Richard Attenborough directed some excellent films. "A Bridge Too Far" is fantastic, truly epic. And if you watch the '40's classic "A Matter of Life and Death" you will see young Dickie in (I believe) his first ever screen role as a young airma…

I had the pleasure of working with Tom Pevsner. He was a delightful, warm, deeply intelligent man. And Iris Rose, who worked so closely with Tom on the Bonds, was a wonderful lady. I will miss them both.
