About Thunderball: The Ten Best Bond Movies...Ever! Book 10 (Unabridged)

The 10 best Bond movies...ever? It doesn't get much more subjective than this. Or much more fun! Come and join international best-selling author Mark Williams on a personal James Bond odyssey as he explores the phenomenon that is James Bond, starting with the Bond film that made number 10 on the list: Thunderball . "Would blackmailing a woman for sex pass muster in the Daniel Craig era?" "Saltzman and Broccoli loved the 'cocksure animal magnetism' Connery exuded." Sean Connery: "'I don't think there's anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman.'" "Surrounded by scantily-clad but always (this being the mid-60s) improbably busty women." "After filming the set was dynamited to prevent other film crews using it." "Discussion about the close up scene of Connery's crotch (is beyond my pay grade)." "Bond villains will do anything except kill 007 when they have the chance." "In case you hadn't heard, Jim, no means no." "Sean Connery doesn't act. He just plays Sean Connery." "Sean Connery emerged from the pool, intact, but most definitely shaken, not stirred."
