My Dream Bond film:
A set-in-1955 version of Moonraker (based on the book!) with

Charles Dance as James Bond

Charlotte Rampling as Gala Brand

and Michael Lonsdale would still have been an excellent Hugo Drax .

The 'Moonraker' story is one Fleming's best, and Gala Brand is probably the best literary Bond girl. A fine piece of work from IF, a pity the film is one of the worst!

This might put the cat amongst some pigeons, but how about the pound note "Zulu"i.e. pre working class "Alfie" Michael Caine ?

No1 of the secret service and licence to love and kill with Garath hunt are better than the original films in my opinion.

Do you mean the original Charles Vine films with Tom Adams?

If you think Shonteff's secret agent films are better than Bond I'm afraid my first thought is that you have shares in the company.
