    carole bouqet, with her long hair, is also in this bond movie….20 years later, with her hair short, she’s in RED LIGHTS, though only for a few minutes; a french thriller in which her drunken husband picks up a hitch hiker with typical bad results.

      Definitely remiss in leaving Boquet off the cast list, as she was one of the most beautiful Bond girls and a childhood crush.
