  • According to this, McClory wanted to go back to the WARHEAD script (by himself, Len Deighton & Sean Connery), and re-title it ATOMIC WARFARE: https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/opinion_kevin_mcclory_damaged_the_james_bond_series.php3?t&…

  • Terence Young - FRWL is my favorite Bond film and DN sits somewhere in my Top 10. I'm not a fan of TB, which felt like Young was on auto-pilot (he handed it over to Peter Hunt, who had to save the film in the editing room). I should also mention tha…
