I always thought that mutual love means mutual trust.

An old black and white TV show of marginal quality, but significant in one respect. It is the first appearance of Ian Fleming's James Bond.

Although James Bond (Barry Nelson) in this appearance was American, and Lieter (Michael Pate) was British, a reversal of what we usually expect, the story is familiar.

Linda Christian plays Valerie, the old love of Bond that is now with Le Chiffre (Peter Lorre).

A good film, despite the technical quality, and an interesting piece of history as Bond's first appearance.

We even learn how to play Baccarat.
