It’s no wonder that she stole and then softened the heart of the cruel and callous Bond. A quick internet search netted the name of Vesper’s perfume: Santa Maria Novella’s Melograno, which by all accounts is a worldly fragrance with a trailing feminine heart – much like the way I would describe her strong yet fragile nature which was endlessly fascinating. Along with the shell was Vesper’s sleek camera and chic white cell phone, a linen handkerchief, a book of poetry, a fine black wallet, and a rather large bottle of scent. The shell represented the untroubled but fleeting days of their love affair when they tarried on sandy Italian beaches embracing and kissing. The items in her purse formed a lovely and wistful composition on top of her black embroidered purse. By this time, Vesper had been killed and Bond had been unable to save her. I was struck by a poignant scene when Bond’s large masculine hand plucked a tiny seashell among a tumble of belongings from Vesper’s handbag. And as I read after watching the movie, this was the only film where James Bond (Daniel Craig) actually falls in love with his leading lady. I was especially taken with Bond Girl Vesper Lynd, played by Eva Green. Violent, bloody and for me, hard to completely follow, I was still able to enjoy the luxurious locations, gorgeous sets and wardrobes. I caught Casino Royale on a recent rainy Sunday. I did something I have never done before – I watched a Bond film.
