August 13, 2021August 14, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 3 Comments

The Bond film that contains some great action and tension, as well as the interesting contrast between the heat of India and the Cold War in Berlin. OCTOPUSSY...

July 9, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 4 Comments

Some say this is the Best of the "classic" Bond films. Arguably it's the best Bond song ever. Even if you don’t know the words, you can hum the opening bars. Is this the film where Connery finesses his performance of James Bond?
