Al Hickey and Frank Boggs are two fallen knights who have lost their way in a world without morals and honor, but especially a world that doesn't pay them near enough of a living wage. They are like an old married couple sick of each other's predictable company- as they are preparing for a potentially dangerous meeting each with a .44 magnum, Boggs (Culp) nags Hickey (Cosby) about bothering with a holster.

Bond, James Bond: The Official Letterboxd Ranking
---“Not based on a true story...”
“Be a good girl and put her on automatic. We could do with a couple of glasses.”
Well I don't know if I'm feeling sad over waving goodbye to the best James Bond, yes Sir Roger Moore IS James Bond in my estimation, or if this Bond-A-THON is weakening my critical eye but I had a ball with A View…
