This was the first Bond movie I have seen (yes, ever) and, although it wasn't really my favorite, there is no doubt that it was entertaining. Whether we were snickering at Pussy Galore or the technology of the 1960s or just enjoying the film, it was good. Bond's hyper-misogynistic approach to everything he does is annoying and frustrating, but it's all about creating the persona of an international spy out to save the world from a strangem gold-obsessed German man's atomic bomb, right?
Side note: I learned that Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond books, also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Its kind of neat that soemone could write books like that. They're completely different stories and completely different characters. That's no mean feat considering that so many authors just recycle characters and settings and plots.
And the gadget car was great. I was kind of jealous.
