Thunderball (1965)
James Bond heads to The Bahamas to recover two nuclear warheads stolen by SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo in an international extortion scheme.
The nonchalant and over-sexed super agent's 4th adventure is full of action and sparely clad dames, all nicely produced, but with only hints of a thorough plot.
Halliwell**: "Commercially the most successful Bond, but certainly not the best despite a plethora of action sequences."
Maltin**1/2: "Fourth James Bond film isn't as lively as the others. Plenty of gimmicks, and Oscar winning special effects...but film tends to bog down - especially underwater. Celi makes a formidable Bond villain."

Triple Cross (1966)
A British bank robber finds himself caught between the waring parties in WW2.
Old-fashioned, mildy entertaining espionage thriller; a bit too long and, like its hero, strangely apolitical.
Halliwell (no star): "Ho-hum biopic of double agent Eddie Chapman; effective scenes merely interrupt the general incoherence."
Maltin**: "Adequate WW2 spy yarn...A bit too long."
