Plus she shows up at his room in nothing but that shirt. Thats a whole level of sexy that our scientists haven't even charted yet! <br /><br />However I'm right there with you Honey, she comes off as kind of dumb given her education via the encyclopedia. Then she mentions killing a man, which comes off really creepy.

She's even the one to introduce the "Last name, first name last name" phrase--007 is just parroting her use of it when he delivers the first "Bond, James Bond." And she's very much the aggressor in the "relationship." Bond doesn't chase her--she wants him, she found at where he lived and broke into his room and greeted him in enticing attire. And there's no ulterior motive or sinister plot behind her seduction--she just saw a man she fancied, and went out and got him.<br /><br />As I said, pretty surprising from a 1962 movie. And it does help establish early on that James Bond is desirable. It's not all about him being a hound dog or using sex for the missions--in his private life, the ladies want him just as much as he wants them.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.com
