THUNDERBALL is an adventurous action thriller, the fourth in the James Bond series, in which the secret agent 007 gets a mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world to ransom for £100 million in diamonds, in exchange for not destroying an unspecified major city in either England or the United States. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming.
This is an exciting exotic adventure where our secret agent again seduces attractive beauties, while constantly keeping pace with dangerous enemies, and after all of that, he finds time to appropriate jokes. Mr. Young has made more space for secondary characters, unlike his previous films in the series. A fictional story has touched the boundaries of fiction and absurdity, however, despite this, there is no exaggeration. Skillfully designed plots fully correspond to rich dialogues.
The scenery is outstanding, there are again some interesting devices and many beautiful and attractive young women.
Sean Connery as James Bond was exposed to a physical strain as never before. His charm, once again coming to the fore, although he was again cold and uncomfortable to the beauties in this movie.
Adolfo Celi as Emilio Largo is the main antagonist and SPECTRE operative Number Two. He is a kind of attempt to insert some kind of pirate character in the story. After Auric Goldfinger this is a bit ridiculous.
Their support are Dominique "Domino" Derval (Claudine Auger) as a Largo's mistress and Bond's ace in the hole, a beautiful and dangerous SPECTRE agent Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi), who playing an interesting game with agent 007. There is an inconclusive CIA agent Felix Leiter (Rik Van Nutter), Bond's attractive assistant Paula Caplan (Martine Beswick) and standard M (Bernard Lee) with his secretary Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell).
Well, an underwater battle is memorable.
