"Belgotai grinned. 'Le's stay de night,' he suggested.
"Saunders didn't feel like arguing the point.
"There was time enough, he thought bitterly. All the time in the world."
-"Flight to Forever," CHAPTER TWO, pp. 235-236.
The Time Machine film, 1960
"You have all the time in the world" is an obvious phrase to use ironically in a time travel context and was so used in the above film.
A James Bond Novel And Film
Both a Bond film and its theme song would usually be named after the filmed novel but how would a song incorporate the line, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"? It didn't. Instead, Louis Armstrong sang a song named after Bond's last line of dialogue in the novel which became the concluding line of the film:
"'...you see, we've got all the time in the world.'"
-Ian Fleming, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (London, 1965), 27 All the Time in the World, p. 238.
Thus, noticing "All the time in the world" while searching for the Solar Matriarchy in "Flight to Forever" brought back some memories.

And I'm sure the dreadful Shawdowspawn in Stirling's A TAINT IN THE BLOOD (and its two sequels) must have complacently felt they had all the time they were likely to need!
Ad astra! Sean
