...Connery's earlier efforts, Thunderball. In that offering, the con-partisan bad guys, SPECTRE, captured a etched U.S. Air Force plane with nuclear missiles a board and then ransomed it to the world.

His wife, his mistress, his dead son and his surviving one, the theater managers who wronged him and the leading men he saw as his incompetent rivals, all are evoked by Kingsley in brisk, meticulous sketches.
