Is she being coy, or is the Daily Mail misinformed? I don't know if any else got this, but I always felt his character was supposed to be an evil James Bond. I agree, Mark; Scaramanga was the anti-Bond (or at least considered himself to be). Glad to hear your treatments are working--hang in there!

I'm too lazy to dig out the paperbacks, but a quick look at one of the Kingsley Amis studies of Fleming's novels shows that Bond drinks a LOWENBRAU in GOLDFINGER, a MILLER HIGH LIFE in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, and RED STRIPE in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. So purists can breathe a little easier...

Given that he grew up in a country that likes to have a pint every now and then, I don't think it would be out of character.

I would be surprised if Ian Fleming hadn't seen FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. Somewhere around here, I've got a still of Fleming on one of the sets for its follow-up, GOLDFINGER, chatting with Broccoli and Saltzman.

May 1 12 12:06 PM More My Recent Posts	While I'm not an expert on Ian Fleming, I'm pretty sure Fleming did see both Dr. No and FRWL and liked them, as films. How he compared them to his novels, I don't know. He knew some aspects had to be changed and accepted them, like inserting SPECTRE into FRWL, and making Dr. No a member of SPECTRE. I know he was less than impressed with Sean Connery, at first. "A Glasswegian lorry driver that will mangle my character" he said after meeting him for the first time. But after talking with him a few times, he came to like him and he liked what he saw in the 2 films he lived to see. There are at least 2 stills of Fleming on the Fountainbleu set of GOLDFINGER, talking with Connery and Shirley Eaton. Fleming died shortly after that in the summer of 1964.

May 1 12 12:30 PM More My Recent Posts	I've read in several places that Fleming came to accept Connery, which led to him creating a Scottish ancestry for 007 in the novels. If not Spectre, then call it Smersh and keep it international in membership so as to not offend Russians. I think, in this day and age, better to go with a fictional group like SPECTRE than an actual entity like SMERSH. SMERSH was gone long before the Cold War was. (At least in name. Over the years others departments would serve the same function.) Last Edited By: BijouBob8mm May 3 12 12:11 PM. Edited 1 times.

May 7 12 9:45 AM More My Recent Posts	While we await Skyfall this November 2012, it's been announced that Bond 24 will premiere Christmas, 2014. Seems that Bond is back in business... No cast members, including Daniel Craig, have been confirmed, however. Mark Redfield Visit www.redfieldarts.com <

NO was released in the US, in a few theaters, on this day 49-years-ago. May 8th, 1963. (It's premiere in London was in October, of '62). � Mark Redfield Visit www.redfieldarts.com <

I dunno, the character for which "Shatterhand" is a pseudonym is going to be pretty hard to be taken seriously after Mike Myers' parody. Unless his pet is like a white tiger or something instead.
