This is so goofy I sincerely
suspect that the CIA, KGB or MI6 tried this after the movie came out.
Security x-rays your whole body? Then pluck out an eye and
replace it with a glass one containing a miniature camera
After a hard day of spying, take
out the eyeball, unscrew it, and curse like blue blazes as you
discover you forgot to put film in.
Film? You forget this is
the future as seen from 1969. No digital formats or wifi here.
It's all Minox film that needs developing in nasty chemicals.
Fortunately, "they" have equipped our agent's bathroom with a built-in
automatic film developing lab. Unless, that is, an incredible
coincidence is involved.
This is so neat a design that
I'm almost sorry that film has gone the way of high-button shoes and
decent screenplays. You put the eyeball camera on a little
spinning device, then turn on the developer. A coloured light up
bar tells you when to dip the camera and film into each bowl of
developer, when to pause, and finally hold it over a tiny fan to dry
it off.
I even suspect that the dramatic
music for the scene is piped in as well.
 Once developed, put the
eyeball camera into the magnetic socket of projector and study the top
secret plans for the new rocket motor.
Or the cleavage of Miss Brahms down in accounts.
It breaks either way. |
