...show. Each of the women in Guido's life comes on, talks about her life, performs a song, then fades into the crowd. Some of these solo spots are pretty wow-y: Cruz's writhing sensuality in "A Call from the Vatican," the surprising sass and vocal authority that Judi Dench brings to "Folies Bergere" and a nicely gaudy turn by the pop star Fergie as a zaftig whore who urges the perpetually pre-adolescent Guido to "Be Italian." A few numbers are duds, like Hudson's attempt (in a new number, "Cinema Italiano") to channel Madonna in her "Vogue...

Jokes that fall flat include “Stolen Pills” and, above all, the bonus track, which features an elderly British woman essentially doing a send-up of a Judi Dench accent while introducing the album. Yet these clunkers are more than compensated for by the album’s highlights: “Cold Change” and “Mighty Mighty Fall” are elegant and refreshingly melodic.

All were born or grew up during World War II, many in northern English counties known for their booming diction, and all shared the same obsession. Says Stewart, 68: "All we wanted...
...waltzes through the film’s relentless action sequences. (There’s nothing as cool as the parkour chase from “Casino Royale,” but the pacing and variety have never been better.) Still, he pauses now and then for admonishment from M (Judi Dench) and to commiserate with Camille—his partner in espionage but never in bed. She and M ask Bond what Vesper would think about his vendetta. “I don’t think the dead care about vengeance,” he says with false detachment...
