Have to say - not keen on having yet another Soviet location for the PTS.

Anyway - Round 4 is open:


1 Bond - Sean Connery

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Eartha Kitt as Miss Silhouette -- Helga Brandt meets May Day. Miss Silhouette is involved with the villain (possibly his mistress if the villain is a man) but turns traitor at the end of the film to help Bond.
3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki):
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling): Eunice Gayson as Syvlia Trench -- no longer 'Bond's London Girlfriend', but a free agent that Bond runs into in the casino.

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): David Prowse as Viktor Szász, a former Hungarian strongman recruited over the Iron Curtain by Spang to act as muscle and assist in the "care" of Spectreville's patients.

6 Villain 1 (Main - the 'title' villain): Steve McQueen as Jack Spang (doesn't necessarily have to be a smuggler as in the novel, but perhaps a jack-of-all trades for SPECTRE)
7 Villain 2: Angela Lansbury as Marna Krutch (she is a 'facilitator' for SPECTRE - something of a Rosa Klebb meets Irma Bunt type, Eastern European, possibly even former KGB - think of her like a Mr White figure for the Connery Era).

8 M: Bernard Lee
9 Moneypenny: Lois Maxwell
10 Q: Desmond Llewelyn

11 Ally 1: Peter Ustinov as Nicolai Zagrophos -- a Greek gambler who helps Bond battle the villain at the gambling tables

Re: Locations - feel free to use multiple locations within a given country.

12 Pre-Titles Location: Swallow's Nest, Ukraine
13 Location 1: Leningrad, USSR
14 Location 2: The DDR, particularly East Berlin and even more particularly the Berlin Wall and the Bridge of Spies.
15 Location 3: A "suspicious health clinic" in St. Moritz, Switzerland, that MI6 discovers has a connection to an insane asylum in Poland. Any action in St. Moritz takes palce during the summer months.
16 Location 4: Greece - specifically the coast and a series of islands in the Aegean Sea that are the home/homeland of our villain - perhaps we could use something akin to the castle of Bourtzi (relocated from Nafplio, obviously) in some fashion.
17 Location 5: Warsaw, Poland (more specifically, the fictitious "Spectreville", which could somehow be connected to the insane asylum mentioned in the location description for St. Moritz)

KEY PLOT POINTS

18 Villain's Plot: Jack Spang is attempting to requisition stolen wealth from Switzerland. This wealth once belonged to the House of Romanov, the Tsars of Imperial Russia. The riches were 'liberated' with the establishment of the Soviet Union, and later stolen by the Nazis when Hitler marched on Russia. Spang and SPECTRE have been hired by elements of the Russian ruling elite - who are unhappy with the state of affairs in the USSR - to find the stolen wealth and return it to Russia in an attempt to resurrect the Russian Empire. In exchange, SPECTRE and any member of their fraternity will be given unconditional diplomatic immunity. Spang is attempting to achieve this by posing as a doctor and smuggling the gold over the iron curtain with patients he has declared insane.

19 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Bond is captured by SPECTRE henchmen and put in the backseat of his Aston Martin. While driving over a bridge, Bond loosens his restraints and ejects himself and lands in the water. Meanwhile, the DB5 continues on and crashes into a petrol tanker, which sends the car careening over the side of the bridge. Bond narrowly avoids the ensuing explosion and swims to safety.
20 Major Stunt 1:
21 Major Stunt 2: After being captured by Spang, sedated, and passed off as a mentally ill patient, Bond groggily comes to, then struggles to break free from his bonds before he is loaded onto Spang's private plane by Viktor Szász; he finally manages to alert the airport officials, who realize the situation, but it's too late -- Szász runs down the loading area and the plane takes off, but Bond is no longer in the villain's clutches.

Forgot to give my thumbs up to your input earlier mrblofeld.

I've been working on an outline with what we've got so far - and was debating whether to post it and allow the participants to create the remaining action sequences and gadgets around it. Thoughts?

[coco1997]

Sounds like a good idea, terminus. Seeing how you've strung things together so far might inspire some new ideas in the last few participants.

[terminus]

Okay - here's what I've pulled together - any constructive criticism, suggestions and ideas are more than welcome.


THE UKRAINE

A single car winds its way along the coastroads of the Ukraine, pulls over on a grassy verge and a man climbs out. We cannot make out who he is, but he walks along a path towards a building on the edge of a cliff - this is the Swallow's Nest and, for the past forty years, it has been off-limits to the public. Which makes it a perfect meeting place --

-- for SPECTRE!

(need more details for this)

THE NETHERLANDS

Bond is enjoying a romp under the covers with a stunning blonde in the aftermath of a mission. In the afterglow, as he smokes a cigarette, Bond declares he needs to leave, dresses and heads out to the Aston Martin which is parked in the street outside. There, he is taken by surprise and thrown into the back of the Aston Martin along with two Nordic thugs - whilst a third and fourth sit in the front.

Whilst driving over a bridge, Bond removes his cigarette case from his pocket and leans forward to ask the driver and the man in the passenger seat if they'd care for a smoke. As he does so, he presses a button -

Smoke fills the car - the rear of the cab ejects, Bond is shot out the back of the car on an ejector seat. The seat drifts downwards, lands in a river - as the car SMASHES INTO A PILLAR on the bridge and EXPLODES!

Bond swims for the banks and hauls himself out of the water -

- and off the lapping of the water against the bank, we transit into a TITLE SEQUENCE designed by Maurice Binder. We are shown an abstract journey through Russian history - a girl emerging from a Faberge egg, covered in jewels, writhing in time to the music; the silhouette of James Bond, 007, making his way through a snowstorm; vast swathes of red - silhouetted women, holding guns, reclining on a hammer and sickle, caressing the barrels of their guns. All to a themetune by Johnny Cash -

ENGLAND

A camera moves through the crowded casino - and finds a poker game in progress. A handsome blonde man holds his cards - looks at the other players as one of them, with an unmistakeable voice, raises the stakes. 'And your name is?' the blonde man asks, with a Greek accent.

The voice doesn't respond - a woman does: "His name is Bond, James Bond -" The woman is Syvlia Trench, the man with the unmistakeable voice is James Bond, Agent 007 of Her Majesties Secret Service. Bond returns her smile - there's unfinished business between them, that much is clear - "Sylvia. It's been a while -"

Time passes - the game finishes, Bond looses against the blonde man and goes to pick up his coat. He finds Sylvia at the coat-check too and offers to drive her home. "I don't think so, James -" He walks after her - "Perhaps you can help me - that man I was playing against: his name, please?" Sylvia cracks a smile: "His name is Timotheos Spangopolous, Greek businessman - in import and exports, like yourself".

Bond cracks a smile in return, "I sincerely doubt that". Bond explains that he thinks Spangopolous was cheating and Sylvia admits that he always wins. "Now, about that lift?" Bond flashes Sylvia a charming smile, Sylvia looks like she's trying to make her mind up -

THE NEXT DAY and Bond slips out of bed (whether it's to leave Sylvia there asleep, or not, is unclear) and arrives at the office where he tosses his hat onto a coatrack, flirts with Moneypenny and then goes before M. M spreads two pictures out on the desk before Bond - they're both of the blonde man from the casino or, at least, they both appear to be of the blonde man from the casino but in each picture he's wearing a different suit.

M explains that the man on the left is Jack Spang, a Swiss-American homeopath, and the person on the right is Brion Spangarov, a Russian pyschiatrist. Bond mentions that they both look suspiciously like a Greek businessman he met the previous night - which intrigues M.

MI6 are suspicious about the connection between Spang and Spangarov and want Bond to investigate this, moreso now that Bond has encountered a third person of identical appearance and of a similar name.

Bond visits Q before he departs on his mission - the wreckage of the Aston Martin sat in the background of the vast room. Q presents Bond with his gadgets, with the usual quips - a device filled gadget watch, a BLAH BLAH BLAH and a BLAH BLAH BLAH. He also introduces Bond to the Ford Gran Turismo Mark III which MI6 are investigating using as a replacement for the Aston Martin - it has been equipped with all the usual refinements (a la Goldfinger).

Q prepares a kit for Bond for his cover identity - but Bond asks for the cover identity of Sandy Bizet, Shoe Salesman. Q points out that the Soviets blew that cover several years ago. Bond nods - because that's exactly why he wants it.


EAST GERMANY


Bond arrives in West Germany via the Berlin Tegel Airport and drives across the border at a checkpoint to East Germany using the Sandy Bizet identity. There, he checks into a hotel, scans the room for bugs and goes to eat food at a simple restaraunt. As he walks back to the hotel, he is stalked by a man in a trenchcoat - he checks into his hotel room, scans the room for bugs and finds out that one has now been planted. He turns the lights off, checks that the man is standing across the road from the hotel, goes into the bathroom and turns the shower on -

The man in the trenchcoat creeps into the hotel room, but Bond has hidden in the bathroom and gets the drop on him. The pair fight in the hotel room, the furnishings are demolished and both men are bruised but Bond gets the upperhand and knocks the man out. The man comes round to find that he has been tied to one of the sole remaining chairs in the room -

Bond is sat on the bed with his Walther PPK in his hands. It's quickly revealed that the man, Yuri, is KGB and that the Sandy Bizet identity did what it was supposed to do - bring Bond's arrival in East Germany to the attention of the authorities. Bond tells Yuri that he wants to speak to a person in authority - and Yuri agrees.

Bond and Yuri leave the hotel and climb into his car - a packed out banger by any definition - and the two agents drive through the city. But, as they stop at a traffic light, Bond is dragged from the car, knocked unconscious and bundled into a van. The last thing he sees is Yuri being shot between the eyes.

Bond comes round to discover that he has been tied to a post in the centre of a warehouse - there is a skylight casting a spotlight over Bond and a chair that has been positioned across from him. A door to the warehouse is slid open and a figure enters, slowly crosses to the chair, and takes a seat. The woman introduces herself as Marna Krutch, a Colonel in the KGB.

She explains that Yuri wasn't KGB - but still demands to know what Bond is in the country to do. Bond remains tight-lipped, he doesn't entirely trust Krutch, and stands up to her interrogation techniques (think of something suitably like the torture sequence in CR, but suitably safe for sixties cinema) before a cannister is thrown into the room - smoke fills the warehouse, obscuring Bond's view, there is the sounds of gunfire and we can make out soldiers in gasmasks moving through the smoke.

Marna vanishes and Bond is soon untied by a man in a Soviet Army uniform who hands Bond a gasmask and escorts him from the building, helping him into a more up-scale car which is driven through the streets towards Schonefield Airport -


LENINGRAD


Bond is placed onto a plane and taken to Leningrad where he is introduced to General Gogol, the Head of the KGB. Gogol's 'interrogation' technique is much more civil than Marna Krutch's. Gogol apologises for Krutch, feeds Bond and pours him a glass of wine which Bond cautiously accepts - "... after all, a man who knows the right temperature to serve a Dom Perignon can't be all bad". Bond explains his reason for heading to Russia - the identical triplet of Spang, Spangarov and Spangopolous - and Gogol agrees that the Soviets are not behind the operation and do not know who is.

As the discussion comes to a close, Gogol agrees to have the KGB work with Bond ("My enemies enemy is my friend ..."). Gogol will arrange a cover for Bond with unlimited travel clearance, allowing Bond to move across the borders whenever he needs to.

First stop? The clinic in St. Moritz that Spang works at.


SWITZERLAND

Bond checks into the clinic where he recruits a beautiful young Swiss nurse called Gretel to his cause, spying on the clinics nateuropath director, Spang. Bond eventually learns that Spang has been tracking down Russian treasures that the Nazi's hid in the Alps - and smuggling them across the border to his 'brother' in Poland.

This is also where Bond first encounters Mr Zsasz, a mute Hungarian wrestler who serves as an orderly at the clinic. Bond fights Zsasz and Spang - and Spang is killed when he falls from a balcony and is buried in an avalanche.

Bond follows Mr Zsasz to Greece.

GREECE

Bond checks into an offshore hotel - a former castle converted by an international company. There, he puts himself before Spangopolous once again. Spangopolous wins in the first game, but Bond's playing gets noticed by a rotund Greek man named Zographos - a professional gambler who also suspects that the younger Greek man is also cheating.

“It was like this, Mr Bond.” Zographos had a precise way of speaking with the thin tips of his lips while his half-hard half-soft Greek eyes measured the reaction of his words on the listener… “The Russians are chess players. They are mathematicians. Cold machines. But they are also mad. The mad ones forsake the chess and the mathematics and become gamblers. Now, Mr Bond.” Zographos laid a hand on Bond`s sleeve and quickly withdrew it because he knew Englishmen, just as he knew the characteristics of every race, every race with money, in the world. "Now, although Mr Spangopolous is Greek, he plays like a Russian -"

“There are two gamblers… the man who lays the odds and the man who accepts them. The bookmaker and the punter. The casino and, if you like” – Mr Zographos`s smile was sly with the “shared secret” and proud with the right word – “The suckers.”

Under Zographos' careful tutelage, Bond is eventually able to beat Spang at the game table which angers the Greek. But, as it is in public, he is gracious, and invites Bond to a fancy dress ball that he is holding the following evening. At some point, Bond meets, flirts with, and is rebuffed by Spang's stunning African-American concubine, Miss Silhouette, when she performs a version of the movie's them on a stage.

-- A masquerade ball in which Szász is disguised as a benign clown, and the crowd thinks that a real fight between him and Bond is part of the buffoonery; at the end, Spang slips out, disguised (of all things) as the Red Death and Bond is captured.

-- After being captured by Spang, sedated, and passed off as a mentally ill patient, Bond groggily comes to, then struggles to break free from his bonds before he is loaded onto Spang's private plane by Viktor Szász; he finally manages to alert the airport officials, who realize the situation, but it's too late -- Szász runs down the loading area and the plane takes off, but Bond is no longer in the villain's clutches and Miss Silhouette may have had a hand in his escape.


POLAND


Bond comes up against the two surviving Spang brothers - and their plan is revealed - in the gothicesque insane asylum. They are working for SPECTRE, as is Marna Krutch (who could be alive or dead by now, it doesn't matter - though seeing her return in the Lazenby Ultimate Bond could be fun). Bond defeats them by killing them and Mr Zsasz and alerting the Allies to the location of the Nazi horde in the Alps.

Bond and Miss Silhouette escape. As they enjoy some relaxation time somewhere, M and Moneypenny discuss the clean-up and that the plot has been mentioned to the Soviets.

[Mr. Blofeld]

If Szász (that's the correct spelling) is to be mute, how does he slip Bond through customs without trying to get a persuading word or two in with the official? That's how I imagined it...

Also, the repeated cross/double-cross/triple-cross of Yuri-Krutch-Gogol confused me... and shouldn't Walter Gotell be listed in the credits, if we're going to have Gogol?

I've got an idea for the finale, but given that it doesn't really fit all that well with the last bit of the outline (given how the end is set up in the outline, the finale I have in mind would be largely redundant), it would be fairly pointless to post it.

[coco1997]

You should still post it, because the outline terminus posted is not concrete and is still subject to modification.

Well, I made an attempt, but couldn't make it work anywhere near as well on "paper" as it does in my mind. I have what I think is a great concept for it that really utilizes the Spectreville setting as well as the insane asylum aspect of it, but it ended up being more focused on the setting of the scene and less on any kind of suitable stunt to end the film on.

I'm thinking of bringing another guy in; is the roster open for new players?

It's a bit harder because we're doing it in the 1960s. I don't know any actors from the 1960s; it was twenty years before I was even born. I think that as the Anthology goes on, more people will participate and it will be easier to get the pro forma filled in.

Good point re: Szasz, I just thought the mute-ness fitted with the henchmen of the early films, but if it's not going to work then we can change that. How did you picture the scene?

Re: Yuri/Krutch/Gogol - Yuri is working for Gogol, but presumably Krutch somehow intercepts the alert that Bond is in the country and intercepts Yuri and Bond as they head to the airport to go to Leningrad. Gogol, and his people, are aware of this and move in to save Bond.

True about Walter Gotell - didn't add him into the titles because I wasn't sure if people would be responsive to including him or whether people would want to use an original character.

If you could post a brief description of the sequence then maybe we could work on it together? I've always liked your input into the project, you've got a great imagination and I'm curious to see how you pictured the sequence.

I've got no problem - the more the merrier!

It's a bit harder because we're doing it in the 1960s. I don't know any actors from the 1960s; it was twenty years before I was even born. I think that as the Anthology goes on, more people will participate and it will be easier to get the pro forma filled in.

That much is true - luckily I'm quite keen on old Agatha Christie movies, musicals and Audrey Hepburn movies, so I've culled quite a few of my possible castings from them that I had in mind to suggest. I agree, it will get easier as we move onwards onto Moore, Dalton and Brosnan.

That may be so, but considering the only fields left are action scenes and gadgets, that shouldn't be an issue.

I think it's sort of the same with locations and, to an extent, stunts - we're just not as aware of what would be possible and also logical in the sixties as we are aware of those things now. I'm certainly no expert on sixties USSR - but I've got a better grounding of modern day Russia (and ironically a better one of Ancient Rome!).

Another action sequence - this could be an extended version of the incident where Yuri is killed and Bond captured.

1 Bond - Sean Connery

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Eartha Kitt as Miss Silhouette -- Helga Brandt meets May Day. Miss Silhouette is involved with the villain (possibly his mistress if the villain is a man) but turns traitor at the end of the film to help Bond.
3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki): Charmain Carr as Gretel, a Swiss nurse at the clinic in St. Moritz.
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling): Eunice Gayson as Syvlia Trench -- no longer 'Bond's London Girlfriend', but a free agent that Bond runs into in the casino.

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): David Prowse as Viktor Szász, a former Hungarian strongman recruited over the Iron Curtain by Spang to act as muscle and assist in the "care" of Spectreville's patients.

6 Villain 1 (Main - the 'title' villain): Steve McQueen as Jack Spang (doesn't necessarily have to be a smuggler as in the novel, but perhaps a jack-of-all trades for SPECTRE)
7 Villain 2: Angela Lansbury as Marna Krutch (she is a 'facilitator' for SPECTRE - something of a Rosa Klebb meets Irma Bunt type, Eastern European, possibly even former KGB - think of her like a Mr White figure for the Connery Era).

Re: Locations - feel free to use multiple locations within a given country.

12 Pre-Titles Location: Swallow's Nest, Ukraine
13 Location 1: Leningrad, USSR
14 Location 2: The DDR, particularly East Berlin and even more particularly the Berlin Wall and the Bridge of Spies.
15 Location 3: A "suspicious health clinic" in St. Moritz, Switzerland, that MI6 discovers has a connection to an insane asylum in Poland. Any action in St. Moritz takes palce during the summer months.
16 Location 4: Greece - specifically the coast and a series of islands in the Aegean Sea that are the home/homeland of our villain - perhaps we could use something akin to the castle of Bourtzi (relocated from Nafplio, obviously) in some fashion.
17 Location 5: Warsaw, Poland (more specifically, the fictitious "Spectreville", which could somehow be connected to the insane asylum mentioned in the location description for St. Moritz)

KEY PLOT POINTS

18 Villain's Plot: Jack Spang is attempting to requisition stolen wealth from Switzerland. This wealth once belonged to the House of Romanov, the Tsars of Imperial Russia. The riches were 'liberated' with the establishment of the Soviet Union, and later stolen by the Nazis when Hitler marched on Russia. Spang and SPECTRE have been hired by elements of the Russian ruling elite - who are unhappy with the state of affairs in the USSR - to find the stolen wealth and return it to Russia in an attempt to resurrect the Russian Empire. In exchange, SPECTRE and any member of their fraternity will be given unconditional diplomatic immunity. Spang is attempting to achieve this by posing as a doctor and smuggling the gold over the iron curtain with patients he has declared insane.

19 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Bond is captured by SPECTRE henchmen and put in the backseat of his Aston Martin. While driving over a bridge, Bond loosens his restraints and ejects himself and lands in the water. Meanwhile, the DB5 continues on and crashes into a petrol tanker, which sends the car careening over the side of the bridge. Bond narrowly avoids the ensuing explosion and swims to safety.
20 Major Stunt 1: On a foggy afternoon, the car Bond is a passenger in is stopped halfway across the Bridge of Spies - supposedly an impromptu security check. It's actually an ambush, and while the driver is killed Bond, chased by gunfire, manages to reach the edge of the bridge. He jumps at the same moment he is hit. Mooks in a boat search the water but he's actually hiding underneath, holding onto the metal girders. Blood dripping down from his wounded leg eventually gives him away and he's captured.
21 Major Stunt 2: After being captured by Spang, sedated, and passed off as a mentally ill patient, Bond groggily comes to, then struggles to break free from his bonds before he is loaded onto Spang's private plane by Viktor Szász; he finally manages to alert the airport officials, who realize the situation, but it's too late -- Szász runs down the loading area and the plane takes off, but Bond is no longer in the villain's clutches.
22 Major Stunt 3: A masquerade ball in which Szász is disguised as a benign clown, and the crowd thinks that a real fight between him and Bond is part of the buffoonery; at the end, Spang slips out, disguised (of all things) as the Red Death.
23 Finale Stunt:

If you could post a brief description of the sequence then maybe we could work on it together? I've always liked your input into the project, you've got a great imagination and I'm curious to see how you pictured the sequence.

What I was trying to accomplish with it was to have a scene where Bond is drugged in Warsaw and then taken by train to Spectreville (the only way in and out of Spectreville would be via Spang's private train), which would be set-up like a small Western ghost town with the asylum looming off in the distance. I kind of pictured the "inmates" of the asylum roaming the ghost town, with Spang using the asylum building itself for his villainous activities. Bond is at first rather unsettled and confused when he wakes up in the middle of the dirt road that would run through the ghost town (I would think that remembering yourself in Poland and then waking up in a place that is built to look like a Western American ghost town would be rather unsettling) and finds the inmates roaming the town. He would investigate the town itself (perhaps even with a scene where he wanders into a saloon and an inmate standing in as the bartender asks him if he'd like a drink, to which Bond responds by walking out) for any sign of Spang or his people before heading to the asylum itself to find Spang. Once there, he's snuck up on by Spang and his brother, who beat him to a pulp, after which Spang would give him the grand speech about his villainous plans and how there's nothing Bond can do to stop him then. He then uses a gadget to create a diversion to escape (I'm no good with gadgets, so I wouldn't know how this could happen. Perhaps he uses those explosive cigarettes to get out, with maybe Spang's brother taking one off of him to smoke, since Bond won't be needing them anymore, only to have it blow up when he lights it, killing him, and giving Bond a chance to escape). The scene could then end with Bond and Spang involved in some kind of fight, shootout, or duel in the street of the ghost town.

Wow, you guys both posted at the exact same time!

Very nice ideas, both of you. And t, your idea, while not specifically an action sequence per se, is actually several smaller ideas drawn up as an extended sequence. I do hope terminus sees fit to include it, because the atmosphere you've described (and from how I'm picturing it) would be very creepy and unsettling and suitably Fleming-ish.

An interesting sequence - definitely something we could get into the chase. Might have to incorporate the Bridge of Spies somewhere else (as it's between Berlin and Potsdam - between Soviet and American territory) but I'm assuming the bridge could be any bridge on the Soviet side of the iron curtain.

Me likey! Might need to be rejigged ever so slightly to seque out from the Greece sequence (which has Bond escaping at the airport and following Spangopolous to Poland). Perhaps we can add a brief sequence in Warsaw itself with Bond and, possibly, Miss Silhouette being apprehended?

[coco1997]

I think it would be nifty to have Bond use the Q watch as a knuckle duster in the heat of battle against a thug/henchman. Perhaps the little device is loaded with 'optional extras', but Bond sees fit to use it as a blunt instrument, instead.

Assuming CT submits a gadget idea, could that be the third and final gadget (which would thus complete the pro forma)?

Thanks.

My main problem with trying to post it the first time as an actual action sequence was that I couldn't get a more "over-the-top" action moment to close it out with (not "over-the-top" as in the Roger Moore/ Pierce Brosnan definition, but more of just something spectacular). The idea was a combination of Fleming (the Spectreville description from DAF) and the asylum idea posed earlier in the process for this project, which I think would be incredibly creepy. I've kind of always wanted to see a Bond film that bordered, at least to some degree, on being a horror film, and while this doesn't necessarily bring the entire project into that territory, it would be something that would combine elements of Fleming with some more surreal elements that are, to a degree, influenced by the horror/thriller genre.

I think that would work very well.

In my first attempt at posting the scene, I had them getting apprehended and loaded onto the train in Warsaw, but cut it out of the actual write-up I posted because since I didn't feel like it really rose to the definition of an action sequence anyway, that spanning what amounted to two different locations and dictating a large bit of the finale would have been a bit too much.

That sounds nifty - I put a watch into the outline but didn't use it for anything as I was going to figure it out later.

I'm sure we can work that out - perhaps Bond realises that the only way to get into the Spectreville Asylum is on the train and he pulls roughly the same stunt in Warsaw as he did in East Germany, making his presence known so that the villains come to him instead of him going after the villains?


Also - does anyone have any idea of how the SPECTRE meeting at the Swallows Nest could tie into the rest of the film, assuming that it would need to do that somehow. Maybe it could have them discussing the plot of the movie, whether they should be using resources to fund a coup in the Soviet Union and how it would benefit SPECTRE - that the leader of the coup would grant SPECTRE diplomatic immunity and protection within the New Russian Empire.

[Mr. Blofeld]

If Szász (that's the correct spelling) is to be mute, how does he slip Bond through customs without trying to get a persuading word or two in with the official? That's how I imagined it...

Also, the repeated cross/double-cross/triple-cross of Yuri-Krutch-Gogol confused me... and shouldn't Walter Gotell be listed in the credits, if we're going to have Gogol?

Good point re: Szasz, I just thought the mute-ness fitted with the henchmen of the early films, but if it's not going to work then we can change that. How did you picture the scene?

I find Szász, despite his language barrier, being Hungarian, to have a good grasp on how to influence people; he'd be like Jaws, but without the metal teeth and a working vocal tract -- he's cunning, yet physical.

I sort of imagined the music from the laser scene in Goldfinger to be playing over the scene; the tension gets ratcheted up as we cut from Bond desperately trying to alert the customs man with his eyes, to the official looking from Szász to Bond and back again, growing more concerned, to Szász's eyes behind his smile slowly drawing wider, and his smile becoming more and more insincere, until...

I would like Gotell.

[terminus]

Okay - we'd need to work Miss Silhouette into the sequence somehow unless her betrayal of the Spang brothers comes much later once we've reached the Spectreville location itself?

Seems like a good idea. Would also be a good spot to slip Blofeld into the movie.

Not sure about this one.

A few other ideas I had:

1) Like "TB" before it and "YOLT" after it, I'd like to see a scene where an unlucky lackey is fed to ravenous shark or some other sort of sea creature.

2) Can we slip a car chase with the Grand Turismo in somewhere? I assumed that when I submitted it as the car that someone else would propose some sort of chase sequence.
