    The music as Solange rides down the beach is classic Bond.

    Clever inversion of the out-from-the-sea Ursula Andress/Halle Berry moments.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Machine that whirs. M’s besides work station.

    Tobias Menzies does a great subtle comedy job with Villers, funny and green, but subtle.
    He has been great in The Crown as Phillip.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    another thing I love about this movie: you see some real spycraft at play. watching him go through the security footage to match up the times is some great stuff.

    Definitely agree—it’s refreshing to see Bond being a real “spy”.

    His keyring would have you believe that his car is a DBS or some other modern Aston Martin...bloody cheat :p

    Goes from trying to bet $20’000 to betting his DB5...that’s quite a step up!

    And to N24- that story came after "From A View to A Kill" where Fleming used the name first.

    Given that so much time is given to a card game later on, it's perhaps surprising that another is worked into the plot at this stage, too.

    Lovely to see a cameo by the swinging "You're mad!" lady who was in Club Kiss Kiss in TB

    The lady on the pokertable is Diane Hartford, who was shortly dancing with Connery in TB before they‘ve gotten interrupted by Fiona!

    Even thought it's not in the book, I appreciate that this sequence sets up his qualifications for the main CR tournament.
    Me too, it echos the mini and major segments of Fleming stories.

    There is a nice level of humour in this film... it’s absence is telling in the later ones.

    The drive around in the DB5 outside the hotel calls back strongly to Fiona taking Connery for a ride in TB and arriving outside the hotel.

    Last summer a yacht at least that size ancored up in the bay outside ….. and it had an auxillary boat with a hellicopter. Other than the rain it looked very Bondian.

    Solange is not the usual trophy woman.
    She seems to be pretty much in control of herself

    I love the chiaroscuro lighting on Bond's face when he calls in the champagne order on the phone.

    Music “Miami International” Over 12 minutes, longest cue in score

    That Bond can pull himself away from the highly sensual Solange to pursue her husband really does emphasise his single minded devotion to the job!

    The Bodyworks scene is a very good thriller scene. I was at a exibition in Copenhagen very much like this one, but with amore Scientific focus.

    Ah, Richard Branson

    Having the bodyworks figures around the card table... a nice touch
