In the annals of trying to turn NSNA into a BROCCOLI 007, this is so far the best.

Others have tried, but fallen short due to the excessive use of iconic music (excluding the Bond Theme which is a must ).

This edit manages to NOT fall into that trap and uses many John Barry music cues which are NOT from the 007 francise, to great effect.

It also manages to almost completely rebuild and clean up the opening credits...and though some traces remain, I for one wont mark down for that.

The other plus, is the large number of trims which clean up the narrative and remove poor joke that failed even back then. Some of these trims come at unatural points in dialogue delivery, or are too abrupt and they do pull you out from time to time, but taking it all into account, this is now my goto version.

Well done.

Recommended.
