DeBaser hosts two reviews of Lewis Gilbert's films: a positive, admiring piece on Alfie and a sharply critical, sarcastic take on You Only Live Twice. Alfie is praised for Michael Caine's performance and its tragic-comic tone. You Only Live Twice is criticised for caricatured performances, rushed plotting and awkward effects.

For:Fans of classic British cinema, Bond enthusiasts, readers who enjoy ironic and critical film commentary

 "You Only Live Twice" (1967) is a misstep.
