The article states that she is an MI6 agent but in actual fact she was a financial observer from HM Treasury. I have altered the article appropriately.

Actually mate she was in the novel, and was only a treasury worker in the 2006 film. However I believe that someone has already written it correctly.Spec ops commando 13:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

In the book, Vesper Lynd is a MI6 agent, it is clearly stated in the book.

[edit] Possible Clarification

Has anyone identified Vesper's changed opinion in the 2006 Film..? She stops wearing the Algeerian Love Knot, as if she knows there has been a change of situation for her boyfriend. However, the only change I have noticed is her increased love for Bond. If that is the motivating factor, why would she continue to bring the money to Gettler? I feel this is better resolved in the book, but I look forward to the reasoning in the movie. Chuckisruckis 23:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

This isn't really the place to ask such questions: in wikipedia an article's talk page is for discussion of the article, not discussion on the topic of the article. So if you want to discuss the film, or the character, you'd be better off finding a forum elsewhere. Wibbble 00:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The motivations of the Vesper Lynd character (book) are explained very well. When comparing the 2006 film's biography to the novel bio, info about the French-Algerian is not explained. Eventhough likely the same or simply unknown, I feel either instance should be mentioned. Chuckisruckis 19:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

There isn't enough information to mention about the French-Algerian. We know that he was/is Vesper's Lover and was kidnapped, but besides that we don't know much else. Sure, you can mention it in the article, but there is not much you can make of it. El Greco 20:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1954 version

There's no point in referencing the 1954 TV version here, especially by erroneously stating that Linda Christian plays Vesper Lynd. No she doesn't. She plays a new character called Valerie Mathis. This is covered by a trivia item, but the previous version was confusing to those unfamiliar with the character, and wrong to boot. 68.146.8.46 02:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is an Algerian Love Knot???

I have looked at this article and decided to research this necklace on search engine. However, I could not find out what one was because all the sites that came up were for the film and companies that have copied the necklace. I just wanted to know if there was anybody out there that actually knows what one is because I feel that the article does not cover this specifically and there is no other page on Wikipedia that covers this topic.

I'm guessing it's a sort of necklace from Algeria. What's complicated about that?
