Despite having such characters as “Plenty O’Toole” and “Pussy Galore”, Fleming never used four letter words in his novels.
I saw an interview, a very old one in which he was asked why. He at first joked that his Scottish forebears would not have liked it but then just said that he did not like swear words in writing.
Yes he does, Pussy Galore is in the novel Goldfinger.
You know, of all the Hollywood properties out there, I really think the one property that could really have a good time with a reboot was the James Bond franchise. I’d actually like to see a new director’s viewpoint on such movies like Moonraker.
