Diamonds are Forever contains one of those brilliant lack-of-continuity scenes
where to escape the baddies Bond has to drive the car on 2 wheels to fit down a
narrow passage. He enters the passage on the left hand wheels, the camera angle
changes, and he exits on the right hand ones. Now that is clever. Check it out
next time it's on TV

curious, that's all!!!

Topaz orange Stag, for some bizarre reason that gorgeous V8 burble had been
dubbed over with what sounded exactly like a Herald!!!!
