I must admit, Ian Fleming had some wonderful names for the women in his Bond novels. And casting of many of the actresses for those roles was spot on.
Casting for the villains has also been good. Though frankly I just didn’t see Donald Pleasence (’You Only Live Twice’) or Telly Savalas (come on Kojak -’On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’) as Blofeld. They should have hired back the other guy from ‘Thunderball’ or ‘From Russia With Love’.
Always loved British humor and comedy, I agree with you call on Moore. It was tough to ‘choose’ between the two cause they were the best in different ways.
I am not overly thrilled with Craig but he’s okay. I see him more as a SMERSH/SPECTRE villain than as Bond.
Yeah, the Bond villains had some choice, scenery-chewing roles. Probably the most memorable is Joseph Wiseman as Dr. Julius No. But we all probably remember Gert Fröbe as Auric Goldfinger more. I knew Fröbe was German but I didn’t know they overdubbed his voice in Goldfinger.
