Neville Sinclair seduction


One of my favourite scenes is when Neville Sinclair tries to seduce Jenniffer Connelly's character. He quotes lines from his own films! What a charmer!

Of course, she knows all of the dialogue from his work, being a super fan ,so his brand of seduction fails. Hilarious.

Sinclair is so full of himself it's as if he really thinks he is the character(s) he is portraying. Timothy Dalton really wanted to break away from his James Bond image and what a grand performance he gives in making fun of himself.

This scene is one of my favorites as well. And you know that was not the first time he hilariously used his own movie lines to charm girls. I bet Jenny (my goodness what a beauty) made him feel like the tool he was at that moment... A two-bit Nazi tool! XD

He wasn't expecting beauty and brains. He probably thought she was the same type of girl as the producer's niece(?) that got the role.

Precisely. She took him completely by surprise! Great moment.
