The Bond series went well and truly comic strip with this gadget-filled extravaganza that too often cuts plotline corners to squeeze in all the hi-tech hardware. Playing 007 for the fourth time, Sean Connery is still getting a kick out of the role, but he's less the suave spy and more the man of action here than in previous outings. Adolfo Celi makes a worthy opponent, but Claudine Auger is one of the least memorable Bond girls. Director Terence Young never quite solves the pacing problems posed by filming underwater, but John Stears's Oscar-winning special effects more than compensate.

The fact that they made a remake out of it twenty years later tells you enough. -

Oh come on, youve seen this film already, right??
This is, in my opinion, the best bond film of them all. This was Connery at the top of his game. I know you have probably seen this many many times on tv.......... more
