				flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King and 
				country. You don't think it 
				gave me any pleasure, do you?" 
				- James Bond, to 
				Fiona 
				Why watch this? The 
				only real James Bond takes on SPECTRE once again. 
				Plot Summary: 
				James Bond is dispatched to the Bahamas to recover two stolen 
				nuclear warheads hijacked by the criminal organization SPECTRE. 
				He must stop SPECTRE, led by the ruthless Emilio Largo, from 
				using the bombs to extort the Western powers for a massive 
				ransom. Bond teams up with CIA agent Felix Leiter and Largo's 
				mistress, Domino, to uncover the plot and prevent a nuclear 
				catastrophe. Dad's Preview: 
				I think part of my kinship with this film is that my sister had 
				the soundtrack on vinyl. The album cover was so freaking cool, 
				with black and orange-clad scuba divers battling each other with 
				spear guns, all under water with retro mini-submarines. Connery 
				is cool as a cucumber as the world's greatest super spy. Here, he 
				squares off against the evil Largo. The undersea scenes are 
				action-packed, and must have been really hard to film!
