I shall give it two stars.

It's over.

One super groovy track at the very beginning, then just boringness - what a swizz!

I was going to give it ★★ but some of it was just torture. So I didn't.

And the title was pure cultural appropriation.

Like, when the mob assemble in Tel-Aviv and head to a cocktail lounge.
I was going to say they all sound like they're from a movie with that bloke in. The European man with the voice, who always played the man with the European voice.
Apparently, he was called David de Keyser.

His characters always used to say things like, "Welcome to my chateau," and, "In my case, I have a million Francs," and, "My daughter is very wayward. I will give you a million pounds to tame her."

I'm sure everyone knows who I mean.

I knew who you meant.

I don't think I even know who he is.

I definitely don't recall any film I might have seen with him in.

Here he, is redubbing the bloke in OHMSS and being himself in Diamonds Are Forever.

He played loads of international bankers, lawyers and gangsters. If a film had diamonds or gold bars in it, he'd show up in it.

I think he's the one who says, "Flash Gordon approaching," in the legendary video (1:17). At least, his voice is. It's someone else's face altogether.

What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?

Sorry, conditioned response.
