Facts and Bloopers:
In both the British and American trailers (or "coming attractions"), the name of every major cast member is mentioned, except for one "minor" exception - Sean Connery!
Bond opens the faucets to take a bath in his hotel suite. He is disturbed by a noise, which turns out to be Tanya entering his bed - a passionate evening ensues. However, he never turns off the faucet, so where did all that water go?
During the gondola ride..., Bond displays the reel of film shot by SPECTRE showing 007 and Tania making love. Bond holds a few frames to the sunlight and says, "He was right, you know." -a meaningless comment in the final print. In fact, he was referring to Red Grant's critique of the juicy footage - "What a performance!" - which was deleted from the film.
