It’s the kind of movie “best” lists were made for, and over the years it’s been on plenty of them: Best Movie Quote, Best Song, Best Villain, Most Thrills. It boasts both the most famous car in movie history and what novelist Anthony Horowitz once called “perhaps the most bizarre murder in literature.” It spawned both 1964’s best-selling toy among tots and that year’s “sexiest man alive” among adults. It remains the most beloved entry in the single most profitable cinematic series of all time — adjusted for inflation, the movie cost only twenty-four-million dollars to make, yet brought in an epochal 853 million at the box office.

Great song.
The aerial shots zooming into the Fontainebleau are indeed gorgeous.
My three favorite Bond movies are all directed by Guy Hamilton: Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever and Live and Let Die. Back fifteen years ago I bought the VHS tapes for all the movies. There was a one-hour bonus tape with “inside dope” on the making of the movies. Hamilton was interviewed and he said that whatever else happened, they were going to have fun making the movies.
It shows.
They also do not make movie music like that any more.

LOL!
It’s gotta be the haggus he ate!
That was a ‘pretty boy’ pose with an oiled down bodeeee
Also - quite a head of hair on him there.

# 3 worked well.
I’m sure Dalton’s Bond had a nice couple weeks with Carey Lowell before dumping her. ;d
I’m betting that was a rug, too.
Yep Louis Armstrong would be my number one as well and in “For your eyes only” in the opening sequence Bond visits his wifes grave.
We Have All of The Time In The World is written on her grave stone....
Check out the Bond Bloopers...

Hmm, don’t know, he was pretty young there. They probably ‘fluffed’ it up some for the picture.
“London Calling” From “Die Another Day.” The Clash.
Sean got picked for the part because he had taken part in some Mr Universe contests.
On the extras on “You only live twice” he has the rug off,kinda shocking, they must have glue it to his head for the water scenes...
Do you think he was already going bald when he was that young - in that picture? I really didn’t know that, if true.
I think he was already wearing a toupe in his earliest film appearances, that in the ‘50s. I would bet he was going bald in his early 20s.
I don’t know how it managed to stay on during those extensive underwater scenes in “Thunderball.”
Lol, you just disillusioned me! How sad for a handsome young man to go bald that early in life.
Well, it happens.
