She had three lines with Sean Connery, whom she was dancing with, when the evil redhead Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) cuts into their dance at the Junkanoo. Husband Huntington gets credited at end of the movie, for the use of his privately owned Paradise Island. See more »

Quotes
[first lines]
Madame LaPorte:
The coffin - it has your initials: J.B.
Bond:
At the moment, rather him than me.
Madame LaPorte:
At least you've been saved the effort of removing him. Colonel Bouvar passed away in his sleep, so they tell me.
Bond:
Mm...
Madame LaPorte:
You sound disappointed you did not kill him yourself.
Bond:
I am. Jacques Bouvar murdered two of my colleagues.

Connery is back, better and more buff than ever, as super agent James Bond 007, this time seeing him on a mission in the Bahamas to prevent a nuclear catastrophe from happening. The cinematography is beautiful, as the Bond Girl Claudine Auger, who looks smoking hot in her bikini.
For the acting, Connery is always there to take the spotlight. He zigs and zags his way around friends and foe in order to succeed. He is still the charming, witty, and deadly secret agent we have come to know him for. The villain is also good here, because not only he has one of the most diabolical plans ever, he also looks diabolical (an eye patch).
The action here is non-stop, especially the underwater scenes. Some call these scenes overlong, thus causing the length of the film to be 2 hours and 10 minutes, quite long, but to me, it's just breathless and pulse-pounding. Also, the beginning of the film will want you begging for more Connery. Most of the action sequences rely on the team's special effects, but it's no problem, since the special effects are damn good for a 1965 movie, even by today's standard. Which is why it deserved to win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
Crew also reigns here. Producers Brocolli and Saltzman return once again, as well as Terence Young, director of the first two Bond films. This was his final James Bond film before he went on to direct Audrey Hepburn in her Oscar-nominated performance in the 1967 thriller Wait After Dark. It shows that you have a class filmmaker at the helm. John Barry gives us a beautiful and fast-paced score that mounts up the tension every time.
Overall, probably the most entertaining Bond ever.
