I have always been a big fan of the spy genre. Ja
mes Bond and Napoleon Solo were my role models; the fast cars, the great clothes and of course, the gadgets. Times changed and spy movies became more “realistic”, cutting back on the fantasy high tech gadgetry. As much as I liked the laser in the watch and exploding fountain pens, I do find myself wanting to watch something a bit more grounded in reality. I think that is why I enjoyed the 355 so much.
