Unreal, IMO. It's an awful, unrealistic, comic-booky film of the worst set, setting the stage for the bad Bonds to come.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I like your appreciation of the Lazenby film, which is my second favorite behind FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. Too bad more of them couldn't be played 'straight' without the winking-remarks, super-villains on remote islands, etc. I hate that crap.<BR/><BR/>I've never understood why Bond HAS to have a girl in every film, other than to satisfy some idiotic, generally misognyistic convention. I get the idea CASINO would have been better off without her. <BR/><BR/>And, significantly, few of the recent 'Bond Women' have ever amounted to much after their Bond film! Denise Richards, Olivia d'Abo, Carey Lowell, et Co. don't seem to have been catapulted into film careers from their Bond involvement.<BR/><BR/>Maybe they should give this up entirely--frankly, I wish ol'Cubby Broccoli (is he still in charge?) would.I.
