Synopsis:
James Bond's fourth adventure takes him to the Bahamas, where a NATO warplane with a nuclear payload has disappeared into the sea. Bond (Sean Connery) travels from a tony health spa (where he tangles with a mechanized masseuse run amuck) to the casinos of Nassau and soon picks up the trail of SPECTRE's number-two man, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), and his beautiful mistress, Domino (Claudine Auger), whom Bond soon seduces to his side. Equipped with more gadgets than ever, courtesy of the resourceful "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn), agent 007 escapes an ambush with a personal-size jet pack and takes to the water as he searches for the undersea plane, battles Largo's pet sharks, and finally leads the battle against Largo's scuba-equipped henchmen in a spectacular underwater climax. This thrilling Bond entry became Connery's most successful outing in the series and was remade in 1983 as Never Say Never Again, with Connery returning to the role after a 12-year hiatus. Tom Jones belts out the bold theme song to another classic Maurice Binder title sequence. This movie was the next in the Bond series after Goldfinger. This movie builds upon the tradition of the previous movie, giving you more of everything. More gadgets, more action, more involved plot, an even more nefarious villain, and more women. This movie is another of the best of Bond movies. James Bond gets to do some tongue-in-cheek, but again it is very natural and fitting with his super-spy image. There are really bad, bad people. So bad that you would be happy to exterminate them yourself. There are some very lovely and strong women. In fact, one of the opposition is a very strong woman who takes care of Count Lippe in a dramatic way, and then makes an escape that is just as dramatic. This movie is classic in many ways, and enjoyable time after time. I highly recommend it as a spy film, a Bond film, and a classic 60s film. Somewhat dated, but enjoyably so, it is one of the best of a genre and an era.
