M is not impressed, and sends Bond to Shrublands, a health clinic, to improve his fitness and cut down on smoking. As well as nurse Patricia Fearing and Domino, she is another great Bond girl whose falling for the fity-something Connery seems totally anachronistic. Bond looks round Largo's ship but is captured, only to escape and release Domino who was being auctioned off. Meanwhile Largo has told Bond one missile is beneath the Whitehouse, and Leiter picks up Bond and warns American security forces who find it. By now Domino is hopelessly in love with Bond, who realises a pendant given to her by Largo contains a map.
Bond goes there to find an underwater temple where Largo is transporting the bomb.
Again is a good Bond film. The characters are excellent, particularly M, Q, Fatima Blush, Largo and Domino, but compared to their impressive Thunderball counterparts they, despite being more charismatic, come off second best. Throughout Irvin Kershner's direction is tight but uninspired.
