It's a long time since I read any Fleming, never liked it much, if I'm going to read about irresistable and smug men of mystery of that period, I prefer Simon Templar...
I dunno, I just felt there was a faint hint of M knowing rather more about Bond's parents death than one might expect her to as their son's boss 30 or so years later.
I suppose if Bond is Craig's age, that would be around the mid-80's - though I think part of the attraction of the recent movies is that there is a sort of feeling to Bond suggesting the Cold War - even though he's clearly too young, that gives it a faint air of fantasy. Bond as a sort of Jack Harkness...?
