Is TLD Dalton's FRWL?
1. Kara Milovy is quite look like Tatiana Romanova. 2. It is considered the most cold-war Bond movie. 3. Chloral Hydrate is also involved in the story. |

I saw this movie last week for the first time in about 20 years and I thought it was just awesome. I don’t know why I blew it off way back when, but I guess taste and perception changes over time. I’m a big fan of the Ian Fleming novels and every few years I dig them out and read them all over again starting with “Casino Royale.” What I really like a lot about Dalton’s characterization is that he’s clearly read the books and is modeling his James Bond after the character in the original novels. He’s like a combination of Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. His humor is sardonic like the Bond in the books, but there is humor. This is my problem with Daniel Craig, his Bond is completely humorless. After watching “…Daylights” and "Licence to Kill" I thought it was a shame that Dalton didn’t get to do at least one other Bond film before Pierce Brosnan took over the role.
