After Lazenby left the series in ’69, united artists imposed an ‘americanisation’ of the Bond concept and John Gavin was chosen and contracted to play Bond. When Connery returned at the last minute for Diamonds are Forever, Gavin was let go. Here is a montage taken from an old french spy film of that same area. It gives an idea of what it could have been like…

The rest is just black for some unknown reason. I didn’t use my regular editing program to render the final file as I am away from the Raulcave for the time being so that accounts for the kerfuckittiness. I’m too lazy to fix it right now. Just press stop, it’s easier. My apologies. BTW make sure to visit the new MonkeyandApple store at: www.cafepress.com My gf has worked really hard on it and after getting slapped over and over again for your viewing pleasure the least you could do is give it a looksee.
Thunderball (1965) is the fourth spy film in the James Bond series after Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964), and the fourth to star Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, which in turn was based on an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham. It was directed by Terence Young with screenplay by Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins. The film follows Bond’s mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world ransom for £100 million in diamonds, in exchange for not destroying an unspecified major city in either England or the United States (later revealed to be Miami). The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, the card-playing, eye-patch wearing SPECTRE Number Two. Backed by the CIA and Largo’s mistress, Bond’s search culminates in an underwater battle with Largo’s henchmen. The film had a complex production, with four different units and about a quarter of the film consisting of underwater scenes.
