When I saw some notes that this was the character that James Bond ( zero zero seven) was based on I expected it to be fascinating and dramatic. Sadly it was unexpectedly dull. Although the locations were at time exotic, the characters moved around them without any apparent sense or urgency. The needs to escape at any cost was discussed but nothing supported it.
The curmudgeonly clergyman and the put upon wife seemed two dimensional. And the agent suffered a doctor who like detachment and coolness. This may well be a requisite of secret agents, but it means that actions are undramatic as there is apparently no emotion involved.
