THUNDERBALL(1965)
Bond! James Bond!
Sean Connery is still Bond in this, and from the
opening scenes, to the opening credits, and the
opening song, you can tell this is going to be quite
a film! And that it is! The underwater scenes alone
are worth watching this great movie! A
(As an aside here, this disc has a couple of glitches
in the early part of the movie. I had to play it on the
laptop. It did get past the spots but still was rather
annoying! I need to try to clean it again!)
A review from another:
James Bond's fourth adventure takes him to the
Bahamas, where a NATO warplane with a nuclear
payload has disappeared into the sea. Bond (Sean
Connery) travels from a tiny health spa (where he
tangles with a mechanized masseuse run amuck)
to the casinos of Nassau and soon picks up the trail
of SPECTRE's number-two man, Emilio Largo (Adolfo
Celi), and his beautiful mistress, Domino (Claudine
Auger), whom Bond soon seduces to his side.
Equipped with more gadgets than ever, courtesy
of the resourceful "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn), agent
007 escapes an ambush with a personal-size jet
pack and takes to the water as he searches for
the undersea plane, battles Largo's pet sharks,
and finally leads the battle against Largo's
scuba-equipped henchmen in a spectacular
underwater climax. This thrilling Bond entry
became Connery's most successful outing in the
series and was remade in 1983 as Never Say
Never Again, with Connery returning to the role
after a 12-year hiatus. Tom Jones belts out the
bold theme song to another classic Maurice Binder
title sequence. --Sean Axmaker
