Very good. To be precise, it’s the recorded voice of Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas) re-inforcing sleep hypnosis for British “Angel of Death” Ruby Bartlett (Angela Scoular). One of the campier elements of the film. Does this mean that she loves the sound of chickens clucking? ---

All a bit silly isn’t it? Hypnosis isn’t going to prevent a physical allergy, surely. Great film though. ---

“The cure is not completely psychological, Sir Hillary,” as Blofeld explained. It’s still pretty dumb, and silly. There’s a lot I still like about the film, but the “Angels of Death” bimbos now seem really cringeworthy. ---

Not for nothing, but I don’t think you’re fully grasping the concept of this game. How is someone supposed to guess a non-famous line from a film no one has ever seen? Congratulations, you stumped us. ---

How can I know in advance which movies people have and have not seen? Nothing in the statement of the game said that this had to be a well-known movie. And this bunch can be relied on to have seen plenty of non-famous movies. I feel absolutely certain that many of you have seen this flick.
