I like the music, but I can see Barbel’s point..... the high notes are very like BBC Sports Ski Sunday!
Must be all the pro skiing and winter sports influences..
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
I know it's not necessarily a popular opinion, but I do enjoy the 'Ski...Shoot...Jump' cue on the expanded soundtrack release. But it is certainly nothing compared to the energetic, disco-fueled glory of 'Runaway' which comes directly after it in the film.
Kristatos makes for a good 'red herring' initially, but when he's supposed to be an out and out villain later on he's still a bit too Norman Normal.
It's a tone thing- he's being directed to contrast with his predecessors (Drax, Scaramanga etc) even in full villain mode. Blame Glen, not Glover, if you disagree. Glover could certainly have played it "big" in a different film.
Tragically, a stuntman was killed during the bob sequence. This was widely reported at the time but is scarcely mentioned since in Eon-approved merchandise (books/commentaries)
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

That could not have been comfortable!

Yes, he is full scale Baddie in The Last Cruisade.... for that matter, he does conniving brilliantly as General Veers in ESB. He should have been the ground commander in Jedi too.

That's true, but I think they could have given him a bit more of an edge, even in the realistic mode. Though I do love his later, "Ah, leave him.." when one of his lackeys is knocked overboard and left as prey for the sharks...

Greene would give Elvis' hairpiece to be creepy. Just boring.
Probably the best ski chase ever in a movie!

Although he doesn’t get a lot to do here, he does stoic wonderfully!
He has recently been Lord Mountbatten in The Crown.

It's as if for an episode of 'The Sweeney'...
