Loving a Bond film week with zero digital effect or CGI.

Since I watched in a few months back, I'm skipping On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) but it was always was a favorite for its natural look. Plus Diana Rigg totally shines with life. There may have been "blue screen" but I do not know. There was an extra on the dvd version I had with a great exposé on Rigg.

Her off-screen charm reminds me of Julie Andrews (James Garner was quoted as saying that film was the favorite he ever worked; Julie trumps race cars!). Although to be fair to JG, he was happily married his whole life (Lois Clarke 1956–2014)

Wow! I forgot how good Diamonds Are Forever (1971) was. Have not seen it in forever, maybe 25 years? Now I want my own Bambi and Thumper.

I too like Diamonds are Forever. All the girls were hot, Plenty, Tiffany, Bambi, Thumper, etc.

What always tickles me is Jimmy Dean's performance. Especially since he's on his own sausage commercials even today. Creepy!

Imagine if Blofeld was in the sausage business.

Can't say I'm a big Diamonds fan but I love Thunderball. Might be my favorite Connery film. (Hard to choose between Dr. No, Goldfinger, and From Russia with Love.)

I'm into authentic locations and liked the Elrod House, Palm Springs. The movie was filmed in the USA, Holland, Germany, England, and Pinewood Studios / UK.

The canalside apartment of Tiffany Case (Jill St John) is on the third floor of Reguliersgracht 36.
