PLOT SUMMARY
A look at the effect that Thunderball (1965) had on the cinema going public, including
rare TV spots, promotional films, trailers and other oddities.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Like it's companion piece, The Goldfinger Phenomenon, this is essential viewing for all Bond fans, though the unconverted will still be left wondering
what all the fuss is about.
