I wonder if there were any other movies that quite expressed the exuberance of Britain during that Kennedy-Profumo era?  I just love the opening bleeps of 'Dr. No' and Brownjohn's graphics for the following two.  'Thunderball', though, certainly finished it off.  England had already changed by then: new government, new way of doing things.  Mod was MacMillan.  I know I'll get an argument for saying that, but that last of Edwardian Toryism, mod and the first two, maybe three Bond movies, seem to go hand in glove.  1964-65 seemed to usher in a different atmosphere, with the grittiness of 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' giving way to all that daft Swinging Sixties pap: 'Georgy Girl' etc.; as if it was a quick, magical, harsh, explosive moment (actually, about two to three years).  British film-making seemed to have a quick stab at being either grown-up or terrifically exciting, almost matching the French output, before lapsing back into 'Carry On' and beginning its long, terminal decline into the 70s.
