This snooping about and gymnastics in “contemporary” black tie, classic Connery era Bond.
Black dinner jacket here following the white one he wore in the earlier Vegas scenes. No wonder he puts two massive suitcases into the hearse at Vegas airport. He must have packed everything.
. Bought locally. The white one uses a clip on bow tie. The ‘rippled’ black satin on the black one is a bit festive. Prob a Vegas tailor!
I do like how Bond suspects a trap floor in the elevator. Foreshadowing TSWLM by a few years.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
Love the raised section of desert with the cactus on top from which Wint and Kidd drive from the Whyte House, it's like the entrance to the batcave or Tracey Island ) )
The flap with the cactus on it opening up to the road... similar to the exit from the Batcave for the Batmobile in the 60s Batman TV series. Adam West was one of the actors auditioned as Bond for DAF before they signed John Gavin and then got Connery... and Jill St John had starred in the pilot episode.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
Great location! The idea for the fight is inspired, but it's undone by the way Bond wins by just holding them underwater. He should have just killed them in the end instead.

Barry's action cue, segueing into comic sax, helps out with that. Connery's final victory here in the pool is merely token... which may even be a deliberate joke, I feel.

Music “Bond Meets Bambi and Thumper” Bond Theme and DAF mingled together
My favourite cue from this score. I love how comfortably the DAF theme and the James Bond theme sit together. If I'm not mistaken this cue was used at the beginning of the Moonraker trailer.

Or rather he should have killed one and threathening to down the other in a realistic way.

Keep your hair on.
The tunnel tester thing.
That always makes me laugh - the glutt Of talking toys that popped when I was a kid in the Eighties...
But not by Thomas Newman for the far less effective Bond/rodent encounter in SP.
I'll happily go along with that theory.
If the 'R' stands for Romolo then I think we are onto something...

Nah, that’s his Grandson! Wish aw is younger than Me.
Jimmy Dean is brilliant as Whyte... didn’t he become firm friends with Connery?
