 DVD Verdict Review - Thunderball
Emilio Largo certainly has the style and menace for a Bond villain, but he lacks the unique quirks that add spice and create a larger than life personality.
Domino (Claudine Auger) does a subtle job of conveying her seduction by Bond and further alienation from Largo, with a welcome dash of spunk at the very end of the film, but still she is lacking in depth.
With her help, 007 does his own doppleganger turn and secrets himself into Largo's scuba team as it transfers the nuclear bombs to the Disco Volanté on its way to eradicate Miami should the extortion demand not be paid on schedule.

Surprising as it may be to some of Fleming's detractors, the writer main strength was always his ability to create compelling one-on-one scenes between Bond and the various eccentrics populating his world.
