Additional detail: Greek wedding scene: Bouas-Danilia Village (Corfu); skiing scenes: Cortina, Italy; graveyard: Stoke Poges parish church (UK); opening helicopter action: Becton Gas Works, East Ham, London (UK); Corfu (keel-hauling surface shots); Bahamas (keel-hauling underwater shots). Casting note: Director John Glen reports in his memoirs that Elizabeth Hurley auditioned to be a 'Bond girl' in this, but he felt she (aged 16) was too young. Cast note: Some sources list Maureen Bennett as Sharon, Q's assistant. This is incorrect. Maureen Bennett is Q's assistant up a step ladder, pouring water on a trick umbrella, and she remains unnamed. Sharon is at a monitor nearby and later brings some tea to Q and Bond.
