Villain: Blofeld & SPECTRE Girl: Tracy (a.k.a. Mrs James Bond) Villain's Plot: Introducing disease into Britain's livestock and demanding a ransom. Main locations: Royale in France (for the tenth anniversary of Casino Royale I suppose) and Blofeld's mountain base Piz Gloria. The Best Bits are the ski chase and... Well, the whole thing really. It's my favourite Fleming novel. In fact it's one of my favourite books of all time. Pierce Brosnan is impressed enough with it that he wants to do a remake. But put that in the "don't hold your breath" category. The movie appeared in 1969 and is perhaps the most faithfully adapted from a Fleming novel. George Lazenby made his only appearance as Bond, and he's not as bad as people say. One myth is that he left because the movie was not a success. First of all, it was a success (although not as big as the previous movies). Second of all Lazenby announced he was leaving the role before the movie was released.
