There’s a bit of development here, as Swann shows she’s not quite interested in Bond…yet, and they both get kind of drunk over some old drink of White’s. White used to vacation in North Africa, and may have some clue to where Oberhauser’s base of operations is. As much as I like Bernard Lee and Robert Brown as M, they weren’t given that much to do except give Bond orders, worry about his mission was going, or berate him for either his behavior, quips, or not following the mission orders precisely or objectively.īond and Swann head to L’American-which is in fact a hotel where Mr. I like that this film pretty much gave Ralph Fiennes’s M pretty much his own nemesis right out of the gate for him, allowing him to flex his acting muscles like his predecessor.
Back in London, voting to enact “Nine Eyes” has passed, and M isn’t too pleased, while Max is beyond smug.
