One of my favorite Bond movies. Might be second after The Living Daylights. I'm even currently wearing a FRWL shirt that I've had forever. It has that cold war plot, an awesome title sequence and song, the introduction of SPECTRE/Blofeld, Red Grant as one of the best henchman, Lotte Lenya as Rosa Klebb is also fantastic, and it has cool actions scenes especially for the time that hold up today.

Another risky scene for the time is when Tatiana meets with Rosa Klebb. Towards the end Klebb starts caressing Tania's arm hinting that Klebb is a lesbian. It's even more blatant in the book, where Klebb changes into some lingerie. Of course they couldn't do that in the movie.

The only part that kinda bothers me is when they rip off the crop duster scene from North By Northwest, but change it to a helicopter. Bond films taking things from other movies ended up being a habit itself, for good or bad.

An underrated Bond ally. Dude was so cool and funny. Pedro Armendriz was fantastic especially fro someone dying of cancer. The books is also among the best of them.
SPECTRE...? Thunderball is the first isn't it?
