Trivia and QuotesQuotes [after making love to Pat, Bond sees something suspicious on the grounds, and gets up to investigate]
Pat Fearing: James, where are you going?
James Bond: Oh, nowhere. I just thought I`d take a little, uh... exercise.
Pat Fearing: You must be joking. Pat Fearing: Funny-looking bruise. A fall?
James Bond: A poker, in the hands of a widow.
Pat Fearing: Really? I`d have thought you were just the type for a widow.
James Bond: Not this one. He didn`t care for me at all. [after making love to the evil Fiona Volpe]
James Bond: My dear girl, don`t flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for Queen and country. You don`t think it gave me any pleasure, do you?
Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, the one where he has to make love to a woman, and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, and turns to the side of right and virtue...
[she steps on Bond`s foot]
Fiona: ... but not this one!Trivia This was the first James Bond movie to provide two key elements for the franchise`s success. It was the first of Maurice Binder`s opening titles sequences created in the form that they would become most famous for. It was also the first to have movie posters which had panoramic adventure-scene artwork. These would become a tradition for the series until Licence to Kill (1989). From GoldenEye (1995) onwards, photo montages have become the staple for James Bond movie posters. The Fiona Volpe character was originally Irish and called Fiona Kelly in earlier drafts of the script. But the surname was changed to suit the Italian nationality of Luciana Paluzzi.
For the opening main title sequence, title designer Maurice Binder filmed swimmers swimming naked in black and white before adding in the color by an optical process afterward. This film and the other James Bond movie From Russia with Love (1963) are the only Bond movies to use the wipe editing technique in scene transitions.
The Thunderball court case began on 19 November 1963. Ian Fleming made a settlement with Kevin McClory after ten days, on 29 November 1963, giving McClory the film rights to this movie and £50,000 damages. | ||
