The most fascinating aspects of the older Bonds were all behind the scenes. Design, production, and of course, accounting (must watch those pennies). It’s hard to believe this movie cost four million dollars more than Star Wars. But this was during a time when we had more responsible producers who understood the value of a dollar and a pound. Every cent was on the screen. Today it seems every movie costs the moon and it turns out to be a wretched piece of garbage. Not all but most. Hats off to Broccoli and Saltzman for leaving us a legacy of supreme entertainment. Mario Giresi
