From the back cover:

He Disagreed With Something That Ate Him takes a detailed look at the two James Bond films starring Timothy Dalton made in 1987 and 1989. Critically unloved and often seen as missteps, Cary Edwards argues that both films are a unique contribution to the series and form an important dialogue with the rest of the franchise. In this entertaining and accessible work the author places the films within the context of the Bond series and the works of Ian Fleming arguing that The Living Daylights and, in particular, Licence to Kill, are a radical attempt to return OO7 to his literary origins, while aiming the film franchise towards a more adult action orientated audience.

JPGR&B SUBS ● 4th May 2019		Review This was posted on Amazon on 13 March 2019 by Terry Adam - I fully support his comments: I have always said that Timothy Dalton’s portrayal as James Bond was the closest to the literary Bond and that both The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill are underrated inclusions in the 007 franchise. Therefore, I was very pleased to find, and read in one sitting, this short but fascinating book written by film lecturer Cary Edwards PhD who dissects, analyses and gives his very erudite, educated and entertaining views and positive thoughts on both films and Dalton’s performance within. It is less a ‘behind the scene/making of’ publication and more of an academic paper/thesis on all aspects of the two films, Dalton and the Bond legacy. The chapter on ‘Context’ covering both cinematic and political, I found very interesting. The Dalton era was unfortunately short lived but it was a watershed moment in the development and eventual re-packaging of the Bond we know and love today. I would highly recommend this book to both film scholars and Bond fans and also congratulate Cary Edwards for championing Dalton’s all too brief, but in my personal view impactful and unforgettable, tenure as James Bond 007. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
