A. Upmalis) Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 13 Summary: My vote goes for (ta da) John Cleese, and seriously too, to my mind, my favourite bond of all time was David Niven, in a slightly looney production that reflected how larger than life Bond has become... Niven played Bond very sympathetically and I think that Cleese with strong direction would bring a wonderful sense of comedic timing to a role that cannot be played straight anymore, if we want farce, than hire the right man.. -- Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts) ihnp4!watmath!watarts!mupmalis
