M - Bernard Lee

Bond's boss is particularly ill-tempered this time and he does not hesitate to insult and berate his top agent for any number of transgressions. He has the honour of delivering the one genuinely funny line in the film. When Bond asks who would play a million dollars to have Scaramanga assassinate him, M replies, 'Jealous husbands. Outraged chefs. Humiliated tailors. The list is endless!'
