6/10

This is an early Bond movie, and more of a spy movie than the later hay day of 007. It's a pretty good spy movie. We do begin to see a lot of what makes 007 with the hot women, the two hottest being minor characters in a catfight scene. We see some nice locales, nice scenery, and we have some interesting gadgets on both sides. We also have the diabolical Specter leader whom I always call "Blowhard", who seems to kill more of his own employees than his opponents do. There is much going for this, but it's not as spectacular as later Bond movies, and we don't get as much exotic scenery as later movies give us. Still, it is just good enough to be in the upper half of 007 films. There isn't a lot of lull in this.
