    I unfortunately need to sign off. I'm technically at work and something's come up. Have fun with the rest of the film, I'll check in later.

    Sorry to see you go... have a good day :-)
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    'Tanker' is a highlight of Hamlisch's score.

    funny how this film had so many images similar to Star Wars which came out near the same time

    Look at the set. This really is a cheap kitchen sink drama

    Funny line from 'The Young Ones'. Landlord: "I'm not renowned for my patience!" Rik Mayall: "Oh, I take it you're not Doctor Kildare, then?!"

    Stromberg trying to charm the russian spy is a pathetic idea.
    He should have killed her immediately, and he even could not see her in the wet dress later!

    Stromberg channelling Blofeld in OHMSS when he reveals that he's not interested in extortion... but then Telly Savalas was happy to settle only for a pardon for all past crimes and recognition of his title, whereas Stromberg wants nuclear holocaust!

    You do all know that Stanley Kubrick had a small hand in this?

    It had been a while since we'd had an action climax quite ike this... not since Lewis Gilbert's first Bond film, in fact...

    A tense scene with the bomb after all that action - that's the way to do it!

    Yes, apparently Kubrick gave Adam some unofficial advice on how to light the set...

    The DOP Claude Renoir had failing eyesight, so Stanley Kubrick was called in by night to advise on lighting the massive set without embarrassing him.
