Felix Leiter (David Hedison) warns James Bond in Licence To Kill (1987)
I love the way that Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) bets “300 grand” in Casino Royale (2006).
Sure, splashing the pot is poor poker etiquette, but who can blame our brother from Langley? The way the chips gracefully exit his hand and spin perfectly to the pot…man, he looks cool!
Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) bets 300 grand in Casino Royale (2006)
This is a cool two-scene sequence from Live And Let Die (1973).
As Bond (Roger Moore) and Felix Leiter (David Hedison) prepare to investigate Mr. Big further, we get a glimpse into their literal dressing room. As Felix ties up loose ends with the “airplane matter” from the previous scene, Bond shows his diva side by working with a tailor for his mission outfits, with room service in tow, nonetheless.

It seems to me that in Thunderball (1965), whenever there’s little to no dialogue or when the iconic hazy, lazy elevator music plays, it’s always an enjoyable scene. That’s not to say that the music in question here is poor – I actually think it’s catchy and I get the melody stuck in my head after a viewing and get a bit drowsy the more I hum it to myself. I think it perfectly encapsulates the laid-back Caribbean setting of the movie, alongside its sinister villain. And this scene is a perfect example of that.
It starts out with Bond arriving at his hotel, where the receptionist (like most) is smitten – so much so that they show a second shot of her adoring face as Bond leaves! Bond skips his room and heads to Paula Caplan’s, where he checks his previously set up hollowed-out book recording device. The harpsichord (I think that’s the instrument at least…) part of this music gets me every time! Love it!

James Bond (Sean Connery) shoos away Dink (Margaret Nolan) to speak with Felix Leiter (Cec Linder) in Goldfinger (1964)
Probably the most misogynistic scene of the James Bond movies.
