Bond goes on a swimming holiday


Thunderball (1965)

Director Terence Young returns for the 4th film in the Bond series which stars Sean Connery, Claudine Auger and Adolfo Celi. Criminal organisation SPECTRE steals two nuclear weapons and holds the British government to ransom, James Bond investigates.

It is in this Bond film that the special effects really go to town and the climactic underwater battle is the highlight of the film, certainly a sequence that was unique at the time. The plot for the film is not too unrealistic but does rely on too much coincidence for my liking. As always Connery is excellent as Bond and the film seems to be over flowing with Bond girls which is never a bad thing for us male viewers.

4/5
