Pretty Good

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

. . . in the bud, as Moore's big screen debut as Agent 007 (he had played James earlier in a satirical skit on the short lived British TV summer fill-in sketch comedy "MAINLY MILLICENT" in July, 1964) was plagued by all kinds of setbacks. Moore himself was hospitalized during the shoot with kidney stones, INSIDE LIVE AND LET DIE narrator Patrick Macnee points out. During this film's central set piece, a boat chase down the bayous of Louisiana, boat after boat crashed into trees while trying to slither across "the point" hosting the wedding party. Stuntmen were shaken up if not injured outright, as was the stunt double decker bus chase motorcyclist in Jamaica, who plopped into an Un-scouted portion of the bay as directed--and got cut up by coral just beneath the surface! One actor was bitten by a snake, also during a Jamaican scene, which subsequently slithered nearly onto tied-between-two-posts actress Jane Seymour (who played the "seer" Solitaire), before a handler recaptured it. (I bet Jane did NOT "see" that one coming!)
