Review
Quite simply, one of the best Bond films. It's lavishly decorated, stylish, and still contemporary. The plot is about SPECTRE's plan to blackmail the world with the two stolen nuclear weapons it now has in it's posession. Clues lead 007 to the Bahamas, and into the arms of beautiful women. One is the sister of the pilot inadvertently caught up in this international intrigue. The other is a cocky, vain woman for whom 007 is just another notch on her bedpost. The locations are romantic, the villians bizarre, yet charming. Connery is at his best; the women are dangerous and beautiful; Celi is wonderful, and disarmingly charming as the villianous Largo. The formula works here, and everything is clicking just right.
