Please leave your comments over there, they appreciate it.

Since I’m writing about title sequences mainly this week, it’s nice to feature a Richard Williams job. His amazing design and animation enlivened many a ’60s farrago, and a few good films too. This is undoubtedly of the farrago school, but although it’s, if  anything, more self-indulgent than Charles Feldman’s CASINO ROYALE or Jack Cardiff’s THE LIQUIDATOR, it’s also more artistically ambitious, and a lot more “entertaining”.
