Thunderball
Roared across the cinema screens of the world with all the force and bravura
that its title implies. Now UA truly had a presold audience in its grasp. The
success of "Goldfinger" had paved an easy route to the box office for the next
bond, and "Thunderball" was it Kevin McClory, who co-authored the original "Thunderball"
story (with Fleming and screenwriter Jack Whittingham), produced the film in
conjunction with Broccoli/Saltzan. Shot largely in the Bahamas, this fourth Bond
carries a breezy air of confidence and dare as it pits 007 against a
S.P.E.C.T.R.E plot to hold the world hostage with two hijacked atom bombs.
