Alternative interpretations from other James Bond films


Valerie Mathis* played by Linda Christian Casino Royale (1954) CBS-TV	Vesper Lynd played by Ursula Andress Casino Royale (1967)	Domino Petachi played by Kim Basinger Never Say Never Again (1983)

Patricia Fearing played by Prunella Gee Never Say Never Again (1983)	Fatima Blush** played by Barbara Carrera Never Say Never Again (1983)	Barbara Carrera posing at Kevin McClory's home in The Bahamas during the filming of Never Say Never Again (1983)

**Valerie Mathis was unique to the screenplay of Casino Royale (1954) as the composite character of Vesper Lynd and René Mathis, created by Ian Fleming for his 1953 debut novel.
**The character of Fatima Blush was created by Ian Fleming for his July 1959 screenplay James Bond of the Secret Service, and appears in no other drafts of the story written by Fleming, Kevin McClory or Jack Whittingham. During the 1963 High Court trial where Fleming was accused of plagiarism following the publication of his novel THUNDERBALL (1961), the character of Fatima Blush was specifically mentioned as being named by Kevin McClory in several newspaper reports on the proceedings. Prosecuting Counsel Mr. William Mars-Jones corrected this error in court on Friday November 22, 1963, following the reading of Ian Fleming's American friend and lawyer Ernest Cuneo's draft outline for the original script. It was Fleming who suggested amendments to this story including the appearance of Fatima Blush – a double agent under M's control, and the idea for the crime organisation SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion) – composed of ex-members of SMERSH, the Gestapo, the Mafia, and the Black Tong of Peking (now Beijing – the capital of China). Following settlement of the court case, Kevin McClory was awarded the screen rights to THUNDERBALL, and immediately made plans to produce a film based on the ninth James Bond novel. Rather than have another rival James Bond film production threatening their success, Harry Saltzman & Albert R. Broccoli reluctantly went into partnership with Kevin McClory, who served as sole producer on Thunderball (1965). As part of the licensing agreement Kevin McClory was not permitted to exercise his rights to the THUNDERBALL property for 10 years, but as soon as the contractual exclusion between himself and EON Productions expired, McClory once again announced plans to make another film based on the story he had co-written with Ian Fleming and Jack Whittingham. The character of Fatima Blush (now a SPECTRE Agent) later appeared in the screenplays that ultimately reached the screen as Never Say Never Again in 1983. A similar character named Fiona Volpé (played by Luciana Paluzzi) appeared in Thunderball (1965), although there was no such equivalent in Ian Fleming's original 1961 novel.
