2 out of 3. Who will be the third?
The gay hit team was hilarious.
Such a great Bond movie...
“you’re problems are all behind you now”...
“Tiffany my dear- we’re showing a bit more cheek than usual my dear”...
That movie was the last role played by John Wayne posse member Bruce Cabot.

Probably my 2nd favorite Bond movie behind ‘Live and Let Die’. Didn’t know he was Crispin Glover’s dad but looking back how could he not be?
Bert Saxby? Tell him he’s fired!
RIP.
In 1971, Glover and jazz musician Putter Smith portrayed the first gay characters,
assassins Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.
The movie had an incredibly underrated car chase scene in Vegas as well.
His son Crispin Glover played George McFly in “Back to the Future”.
I remember him. He was in “Hard Times” with James Coburn, Charles Bronson and Strother Martin. He was also in the first “Walking Tall” movie. Solid character actor.
And Grendel the demon in “Beowulf”.
Putter Smith (Mr Kidd) the jazz musicians is still alive at age 84. Putter played with Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and others.

I’ve seen him in many things but had no idea he was Crispin Glover’s father
