It should be possible to evaluate a feature film
 by careful examination of one shot (or even
 one frame).  The contributions of many in the
 credits (from director to accountants) can be
 seen in each frame.
 Like taking a blood sample.

 One of the most striking images in this film is
 of the actress Ivana Milicevic, just after her
 character has poisoned Bond's drink at the
 bar.  As she turns to look over her left shoul-
 der we cannot help but notice how beautifully
 this shot has been planned.  The lighting, the
 hair and makeup.  The actress herself who
 manages to communicate menace without
 a single word.  The casting director who hired
 her.  The set builders and decorators.  All
 made their contributions.
 There's nothing quite like a blond in blue
 light...
