This fourth outing for Sean Connery as 007 - much of it set in the exotic Bahamas - is not the best of the Bond films. Overladen with gadgetry, the plot lacks focus and becomes overly comic, Claudine Auger is not especially memorable as a Bond girl, and it has a confusing - and poorly paced - underwater fight sequence.
That being said, the Oscar-winning effects are strong, it's great to briefly see Bond's Aston Martin DB5 again, and Adolfo Celi is on fine form as the evil, card-playing, eyepatch-wearing Emilio Largo, the Spectre number two, who holds the world to ransom with a nuclear bomb stolen from Nato.
Released in 1965, it was the last Bond film to be directed by Terence Young. While it's not in the same class as its follow-up, You Only Live Twice, it's still worth watching, as it's superior to many of the Roger Moore efforts.
