Thanks for the observation, yes, I would agree that at 700 pages Guns, Girls and Gadgets: Sixties Spy Films Uncovered is good value for money at £19.99. There are books out there at 150 pages costing £13.99.

Yes, Lois Maxwell gets a lot more to do in Operation Kid Brother than she ever got in any of the official Bond films. Maxwell looked to be enjoying herself in the sequence where she gets to use the machine gun at the vineyard.

dirtybenny Thanks for the order. Yes, I watched Operation Kid Brother (aka OK Connery) while writing the book and knew I had to write a chapter on it.

Eberlin then goes about trying ...

The book looks at the sixties cycle of spy and secret agent movies that was kick-started by Dr No and From Russia with Love. Researching and writing it took me five years, so its been a real labour of love.
