Sadly, the hard edge of the first two installments in the series has given way to a less harmful and more popularized texture here, but this is undeniably the essence of cool cinema.
Done with flair and style, it goes through the motions with a lively sophistication, presenting each deadly situation with its tongue firmly in cheek. Connery is smooth, Frobe is an amusing villain and Harold Sakata has achieved iconic status as henchman Oddjob. Jill Masterson's "golden corpse" is one of the eeriest and most psychedelic depictions of death to ever grace the screen.
A classic, although I cannot fail to point out the fact that Bond gets knocked unconscious a worrying three times.
