Jimmy Dean was one of the few bright spots (along with Lana Wood) in an otherwise ho-hum Bond film. He was hilarious playing a Howard Hughes sort of semi recluse, sans the long fingernails. RIP Jimmy, you did yourself proud--in this film, in your singing, and in your sausage company. You will be missed. I hope they eat lots of sausage in heaven.
It was a very witty film, just not want Bond fans expect now, but it hugely outgrossed it's two predecessors back in the day. It was wonderful escapism. People are too serious these days.
@GeneralMototada That is sooo hilarious the way that Willard Whyte (played by the late Jimmy Dean) saying the famous line "George Saxby....tell'em he's fired!!".
The hostage pretty being like “ah my babysitters got a hold of ya. Hope they didn’t hurt you too bad”. Like he wasn’t even sure if those ladies were their to guard him completely or at least until they’d have to kill him themselves pssh
I like Jimmy Dean's line, but with all due respect to Bruce Cabot (a great actor), Bert Saxby is possibly the worst Bond villain in the entire series. Of all the people Blofeld could've chosen as his right-hand man, he chose a casino manager who can't shoot?
Because he needed Saxby to keep up the illusion that he was Willard Whyte and Saxaby was Whyte's right hand man. Wint and Kidd were Blofeld's main assassins in the movie.
After the first shot misses saxby was obviously out gunned why did he raise back up and get picked off and looks like he did his own stunt rolling off down the the hill.
@@jonburrows8602 well maybe, I just think it cheapens the series a lot. I couldn't imagine juvenile jokes in a Bourne film, and I don't like it in Bond. Bond has a dry, sardonic wit, not crass smarmy sleaze and bad puns.
