Bond and the Beatles have such a huge cultural footprint that they can't help sort of running into each other. Every aspect of what we now think of the Bond films just appeared fully formed. The timing was quite extraordinary because the country was hungry for a new version of itself, hungry for something that was modern. It's fascinating from a Freudian point of view - it's only apt that Bond represents death but he has a license to kill. This films are die another day of view to a kill, no time to die.
