The plot of Never Say Never Again and Thunderball were intended to be
essentially identical. Because of legal restrictions, the story for
Thunderball was the only 'Bond' story available to Connery, et. al.

I saw the film this past weekend and enjoyed it very much. In many
ways it is reminiscent of the Dr. No and From Russia With Love films.
I especially enjoyed the performances of Barbara Carrera and the actor
who played Largo(can't recall his name right now.) By the way, the 
character of Felix Lieter, the CIA agent, has been played by FOUR
previous actors prior to this film, one being Jack Lord in Dr. No.
