Thunderball: Your Favorite Shot

I love the carnival/folkways sequences in Bond, and TB's Junkanoo may be the best.



PS--Posted a pic from screenmusings. I don't know if anybody can see it, though. I can't.

Can't see it, no.

We should get in touch with them: "Look chaps, do you mind..."

TB not being a favourite film for a while didn't have a ready favourite shot but I think this one of Connery after recent viewings is a favourite. More for that moment where good guy meets bad guy. Or bad guys if you count Vargas in this shot. Also for the "SPECTRE at your shoulder..." line. Bond has the measure, just about, of his enemy. Largo doesn't have that privilege just yet.

'Tis a very great casino sequence, Hilly.

Is indeed, is indeed. Just occured to me looking at the image that the woman in the bottom left matches Fleming's "Agatha Christie type" in OHMSS' casino scene (and more or less matched in the movie).

Thunderball doesn't have as many iconic images as any of the other 60s Bond films imho. My choices here would be among the shot of all the 00 agents assembled at the beginning of the film, the SPECTRE meeting room and possibly that shot of Fiona after Bond hands her her shoes.

True. And that's a bit strange because TB is a really gorgeous film.
