Agreed. Any attempts to televise or broadcast or stream those films is only going to lower the reputation of Elvis to future generations. > Bond films age unevenly.

To me, the stories that stay closest to the original novels seem to be better than the ones that kept the title and changed everything else. Aside from being set in Japan, You Only Live Twice bears little resemblance to the Fleming novel… the novel was one of my favorites. The Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig worked because it remained true to Fleming’s characters and story. > On Thu, 30 Jun 2022 at 10:53 AM Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Question for the group: Has anyone tried to watch any of the Elvis movies >> recently?
