Shaken, not stirred. Or is it...



Stephanie Zacharek on The spies who thrilled me, and why we like them:

While we all publicly claim to prefer substance to style, there's something to be said for rolling around naked on a revolving futuristic bed verdant with $20 bills or smashing around in a silver-gray Aston Martin D.B.5. Those are just a few of the pleasures that the '60s spy genre offers us -- vicariously. You can't have everything, especially a sports car with an ejector seat and a rear bullet shield.
Nicely said, though my favorite Connery Bond film is "Goldfinger." And she earns a warm spot in me heart because she's the other person (besides me) who likes "On Her Majesty's Secret Service."
