Waiting for Scaramanga

"The Many with the Golden Gun" 1974

For many years, it was considered by Bond fans as probably the weakest in the series (little did we know the horrors that were "Try Another Day") but there's no denying the movie still had charm, wit, humor and memorable stunts/characters. It did have it's missteps to be sure, but Christopher Lee was fantastic as Scaramanga, Roger was still coming into his own, rolling the American Motors hatchback continues to be one of the most inspired stunts in franchise history, and the John Barry score was absolutely fantastic! And Kimmie is rocking it here as she waits seductively for Scaramanga. Yeah, I know she's not in Bond's spot here, but I just had to visualize this. I can still hear that beautiful score...
