"Circa 1965" or "Time Flies When Yer Havin' Fun"

Kevin McClory produced this one. Who the hades is he, you are asking. Well, the freakin' idea for this extravaganza came from Kevin, Jack Whittingham, and Ian Fleming. If you don't know Ian Fleming, please go to the next blog.

Interesting story about this installment of Bond, James Bond. I don't remember the freakin' details, but Kevin and Jack sued over the rights to this picture. Seems the "Thunderball" story was their idea, and Ian Fleming stole it from them. With their names in the credits-guess what-they won!

I liked this one, particularly in the beginning where 007 has to go to a chiropractor/retreat after being brandished by a poker. Poor Colonel Duvall got the worst of it, I'm afraid, as he met his Waterloo before the Tom Jones tune even began.
