"One of the great (and most controversial) films in the James Bond 007 franchise. After all, the movie is based on the book 'Thunderball' - which, in turn, was written from elements of an unused screenplay by Kevin McClory. After a legal dispute, Eon managed to get the rights to the story with McClory and released the movie that introduces the most famous villain of the secret agent: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, with his face never revealed, the white cat in his lap and the aesthetics that became the villain cliché in cinemas. It is also here that the franchise begins to appeal to more spectacular situations, gadgets out of reality and much more - something that would be further deepened in the following feature films. A mixture of melodrama, action and espionage at the right point, in a portrait of the culture of the late 1960s."
