From your source; The words of Ian Flemming

"I don’t think that [James Bond] is necessarily a good guy or a bad guy. Who is? He’s got his vices and very few perceptible virtues except patriotism and courage, which are probably not virtues anyway. He’s certainly got little in the way of politics, but I should think what politics he has are just a little bit left of center. And he’s got little culture".

"He’s a man of action, and he reads books on golf, and so on—when he reads anything. I quite agree that he’s not a person of much social attractiveness. But then, I didn’t intend for him to be a particularly likable person. He’s a cipher, a blunt instrument in the hands of government".

Thanks for the link Perdogg. This is not the article I recall reading but he pretty much says the same things in a different way. In an article I read, he specifically said that he did not admire the character of James Bond.

I enjoyed reading this.

I am surprised the NAACP hasn't marched upon Penguin and Gildrose to alter some the stories due to their "racial insensitivity".

From Russia With Love


Last night for the time I saw the uncut uncensored version of “From Russia with Love”. The guy that played Kronski was in UFO.


I was pleasantly surprise to learn than Daniela Bianchi uncovered backside was shown and uncovered mamma, and what a view it was. I was surprised to see this in a movie that was made almost 50 years ago.


Clearly Sean Connery's behavior towards women, today, would be politically incorrect. The open hand slap to Tatiana's face by Bond would get a protest from NOW today
