Danger Route (1967)
7/10
Bond in the real world
6 December 2022
Even from the strains of the particularly bad Bondesque theme tune, this is Bond in another world. One for the late 60's, even though made in 67 and the sitar music in the first half hour. This is a spy movie for a stale Britain. Richard Johnson plays the "hero" Jonas Wilde, not a likeable hero but them not many of the characters in this film are. It's a spy movie with lots of double crossing, but without the big sets of the Bond movies. Having said that Johnson's ok, but it's the ladies who provide the oomph in this film. Diana Dors is great as Rhoda, the always great Sylvia Sims is brilliant role as Mrs Canning and Carol Lynley almost steals the show as Wilde's sometime girlfriend. A decent effort.
