They're all fantasy for teenage boys. Well, the version of Casino Royale
with David Niver was somewhat better, but not a lot.

I read all the books too. Equally bad, except that "From Russia with
Love" was moderately believable.

You want good spy fiction? Read LeCarre, Alan Furst, Eric Ambler, and
Robert Littell, who deliver in spades. Forget these dopey Bond movies.

hey I was a teenage boy in '63 when Goldfinger came out or was it in '64..no matter...I'm 61 now..those teenage fantasies from Bond films can last you a lifetime, and frequently do!

I still love Goldinger and its in my DVD collection..its as much fun today as it was way back then...one of my 2 or three all time favorite films.
