The first was in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (1969). This is only the second time that an M character's home has been shown in an official EON Productions James Bond film. In the latter, his license to kill was revoked and in 'Die Another Day' (2002) he was temporarily decommissioned but never resigned. The first was 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (1969) and the second was 'Licence To Kill' (1989). This is the third James Bond movie where James Bond has resigned. James Bond's letter of resignation via the MI6 intelligence intranet read: 'M - I hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect. The first Bond film not to feature Moneypenny (in some guise). Whilst this is a frequent filming location (used on ' Live And Let Die' and ' The Spy Who Loved Me', amongst others), the character of James Bond has set foot in the Bahamas relatively few times - notably in ' Thunderball', ' Licence to Kill' (only briefly in the Pre-titles Sequence) and 'Casino Royale'. 'Casino Royale' returns Bond to the Bahamas. This is the first appearance of Rene Mathis, a recurring character of Fleming's who made his debut in the 'Casino Royale' novel.
