Isn't it interesting how a lot of the US titles are sex orientated?!? :)

A facinating list, Zencat.
I've always thought Fleming had an absolute genius for titles and character names (something his book and film successors rarely manage to pull off).
It's interesting to see that Fleming must really have worked at getting them right as so many of his alternate choices are...er..."wide of the mark".
