Ian Fleming Publications has announced that Ian Fleming's works are being edited. They are removing or altering language in the books.

BRITISH INTELLIGENCE is a movie starring Boris Karloff! Not as Frankenstein, or in the Bride of Frankenstein, or The Mummy, no! He scared all of us for so long in these movies – but here . . . today. . . we are looking at Karloff as a spy in none other than the 1940 movie, BRITISH INTELLIGENCE! In short, the basis of the story is that in World War I, the British are making plans to counter the German offense after the German invasion of Poland. They are making plans but somehow the Germans are aware of their plans and are pounding the British troops as a result -as many casualties are resulting in the Germans somehow knowing the British plans. And no one knows HOW the Germans are discovering these plans. So, James Yeats, played by Leonard Mudie, as head of British Intelligence – must get to the bottom of this! Arthur Bennett, the cabinet minister, assembles the powers for regular meetings at his home, for planning, and for figuring out how the Germans are getting their plans. BRITISH INTELLIGENCE is full of intrigue, espionage, double-crosses, and real spy stuff. It is extremely well done. It stars Boris Karloff as Valdar, Margaret Lindsay as  Helene Von Lorbeer, Bruce Lester as Frank Bennett, Leonard Mudie as James Yeats and Holmes Herbert as Arthur Bennet. Therefore, you know the acting is superb! In this episode, we point out some interesting connections, and things to definitely look out for. We'll enhance your viewing experience!

Join us as we look at 10 reasons to watch THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE! Dan and Tom look at the 1997 spy spoof and tell you why you should watch it. We think it is a fun movie. The first reason to watch it is that THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE is a showcase for Bill Murray. If you like Murray, this movie will be in your wheelhouse. Listen to the episode to hear us explain this one in more detail and to catch the other nine reasons to watch. We also look at the birthday present Wallace Ritchie gave himself. Discuss whether Lori is good or evil. Wonder if we could get away with a car chase with the police as Wallace does. And Bill Murray is a Russian dancer, really? And as usual, we look at potential influences between THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE and other movies. We specifically drill into influences with A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MOONRAKER, and OCTOPUSSY. We enjoyed this movie and with these 10 reasons to watch THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE, we hope to encourage you to watch it too.
