I've been reading through the Ian Fleming James Bond canon - lotsa dated & sexist stuff - but it's been fascinating to refresh my memory and compare the novels with the grotesqeries (is this a word?) that the movies have become.
The latest 2 movies (with Daniel Craig) seem to follow the original plot lines the closest since the original Sean Connery flicks.
And yes, Pussy Galore was a real character in the novels - not a Hollywood gimmick. But the movies did leave out the giant squid from Dr. No - maybe they couldn't lease Disney's after it was killed by Captain Nemo.
