We are starting right after the ORION logo

No gunbarrel for this time

Shady Tree

I've paused at the fade of the Orion Pictures logo.

Higgins

Ah...about to be regaled with one of the worst songs ever recorded...

You all know I hate the score, but the title song isn’t the worst Bond song ever (that would come 25 years later) and it’s tolerable

Waiting for Sir Miles to give his opinion here

Shady Tree

This functions like a PTS but really it's a credits sequence. The romantic song is mismatched with an action scene and kills any suspense, making it seem, right away, like a 'fake'.

Thunderbird 2

The song I don;t mind, - the singer is too Operatic for my taste.

For me its the costuming that will set Me off! (Shakes head)

Higgins

So far Connery‘s toupee is looking good and not like a beaver tail

Shady Tree

Connery still has that physicality.

Number24

It's not the worst score, but it's one of the worst. (I found NSNA online and I'll give it a try)

Thunderbird 2

As Blofeld and Largo have hair I'd have said to Sir Sean leave the rug at home!

I wonder where this bit was actually filmed?

Barbel

Ronald Pickup’s Chief of Staff character is called “Elliot” since they couldn’t call him “Bill Tanner” for legal reasons

Higgins

Wonder what the folks who moan that LTK looks like TV have to say about AVTAK

Shady Tree

I feel a bit cheated by the 'training exercise' anti-climax. The violence seemed too real. Not like the paint-balling with the SAS in the TLD PTS.

Number24

Connery moves well, but this is probably the worst "PTS".

Barbel

Have always liked Edward Fox as an actor, but don't care for his interpretation of M

Higgins

Connery‘s accent is much heavier in this one

He sounds like Barbel

Sean was what, 53 or so here? Honestly, he looks in better shape than he did in DAF.

Yes, indeed.

Yes, he's deliberately going OTT.

) ) ) Having lived in Scotland for more than 60 years, I can tell you that NOBODY in Scotland sounds like Connery.

Thunderbird 2

Don;t like MPenny as a dud. In her role she would be anything but stupid.

Barbel

Barbara Carrera! :x :x :x :x :x
