This was the first Bond film to be based on one of Fleming's short stories. There are several scenes in this film borrowed from other Fleming tales. Examples: The assault on the smugglers' boat and warehouse is from a short story entitled "Risico", and the sequence featuring Bond and Melina being dragged through the coral is actually from the book, "Live and Let Die". The Identigraph had appeared in slightly different form in the book, "Goldfinger".
