I read about E. Howard Hunt today. “Implicated” in regime change abroad, the JFK assassination (regime change), and Watergate (regime change). He seemed to have seen himself as Bond, before there was Bond.
My first Bond movie was From Russia with Love. To me it was the best one.
James Coburn was surprisingly entertaining in Our Man Flint.
Patrick McGoohan maintained the suspense in the series Secret Agent. In included a great song by Johnny Rivers.
Peter Falk called Patrick McGoohan, “Most underrated and under-appreciated talent on the planet”.
