The team dives deep into the 1963 Bond classic, exploring everything from Red Grant’s chilling villainy to Connery’s evolving performance as 007, and why this film is often hailed as not just the best 007 movie but maybe the best spy movie ever made.
The panel explores the film's darker, more espionage-driven tone compared to other James Bond entries and its legacy in the genre. Llewella brings rich insights from her research, offering fascinating production details and commentary on its visual and psychological depth.
