Episodic series of sketches - the film is based on the title, not Fleming's novel. It's not really possible to view this as a film with any kind of plot. There seems to be huge gaps in the narrative, and sequences do not properly join up. So, forget expecting it to make sense. This is a ride through what people think they remember of the swinging sixties, packed with psychedelia, beautiful women, crazy gadgets, knockabout fights, chases and explosions - all to the a lively score by Burt Bacharach, performed by Herb Alpert. So many stars pop up, some playing surprising roles - Deborah Kerr is one of the funniest turns in the movie. Conversely, Peter Sellers, normally brilliant, is mostly boring here ( he wanted to play it straight. Oh, well). For a film that originally carried a 'U' certificate in England (it's been recertified as a PG) it's full of racy scenes and references. On the whole it's a disjointed but (I think) enjoyable romp. It must be said, however, that the picture quality on this edition is way below par. The colours are muddy and the image, though 'widescreen' is very small on the screen, with acres of black border around the picture. No adjustment of the screen preference settings can improve this. One of the trailers in the extras gives some indication of what it should look like. It doesn't render it unwatchable, although it did turn my 43" screen into a 32" screen.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I bought this film mainly for the excellent music score by Baccarach & David It's a cheap enough title and I LOVE the title track. I bought it also to complete my Bond film collection - IMO, it has it's place for serious fans of Bond/Fleming because so many of the actors in this film also appear in the EON (proper) Bond films. 1960s anarchic slapstick is something of a niche genre. The comedy's dated now but it was something of a ground-breaking feast of humour in it's time. You have to weigh it up against the seriousness of the Broccoli Bond films (Dr No [1962]; From Russia with Love [1963]; Goldfinger [1964], and; Thunderball [1965]) to better appreciate it's worth. When compared to the 1954 "Casino Royale" with Barry Nelson as the FIRST James Bond, it's GREAT. That original "Casino Royale" TV show is a cure for insomnia. No wonder Fleming "gave up" momentarily and, in a moment of madness/resignation/desperation sold the rights to the story... Moral of the story: don't sell your artistic rights before you've established your franchise! Hang on in!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen

It's the proverbial turd which can''t be polished. What an incredible waste of money and resources. The long list of directors speaks for itself. There is clearly something wrong with the script and the producers who supervised it.

The picture appears as a small ‘letter box’ in the middle of your television screen rather than full size and filling your television screen, which as absolutely appalling, really badly transferred to DVD and almost unwatchable!

My son absolutely loves James Bond, and had heard about this from his granddad. They both watched it together and enjoyed it enormously. It was very light-hearted and entertaining.
