The Spy Who Loved Me

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, the 10th film in the James Bond series, ventures not only into the depths of the ocean but into the deep topic of betrayal and morality as well, placing it among the boldest of the 007 films. James Bond (Roger Moore) is coupled with Russian agent Anya 'Triple-X' Amasova (Barbara Bach) to recover stolen Soviet submarines from evil oceanographer Carl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) and his gigantic lackey, Jaws (Richard Kiel). When Triple-X learns that Bond killed her boyfriend on a mission in the Alps, she must overcome her selfish notions of revenge and work with 007 for the good of the world. In addition to the Bond staple of girls and gadgetry, the film features beautifully shot footage of the Austrian Alps, Venice, and the Egyptian pyramids. Furthermore, director Lewis Gilbert uses the film to push the cinematic envelope with stunning underwater action sequences, that leave the viewer gasping for air and a vodka martini--shaken, not stirred.

    “Nobody Does It Better” than Roger Moore in the best post-Connery James Bond adventure. Well-acted (with less reliance on slapstick humour than normal), smartly cast (metal-toothed Jaws, played by Richard Kiel, makes his first appearance) and lavishly directed (by Lewis Gilbert), this exceptional spy escapade is far-fetched mayhem of the highest order, with a welcome accent on character realism rather than just spectacular sets. Barbara Bach is the alluring Russian agent Anya Amasova.

  • Witless spy extravaganza in muddy colour, with the usual tired chases and pussyfoot violence but no new gimmicks except a seven-foot villain with steel teeth.

    Rated - 5 stars

    With all favouritism aside this is one of the best Bond films that Roger Moore ever did and is possibly one of the best Bond films ever. This has all the hallmarks of what a Bond film should have - beautiful but deadly women, villains with character which includes a megalomaniac wanting to destroy the world and the classic hitman Jaws. This also boasts one of the most famous opening sequences in which Bond skis off a cliff only to open a parachute, which is a Union Jack. If you want to see one Bond film that includes all of the things that makes Bond famous that this is one of them.

    moore's best by far

    More commonly known as Roger Moore’s best Bond film.

    With exotic locations, attractive dames and a sinister villain in Kurt Jurgens, this is an adventure that delivers stylish thrills by the minute, and all the action scenes, from the opening ski chase to the climactic boat-set battle are dynamically handled.

    Let’s not forget the triumph of production design that is Jurgens’ underwater base, but it’s the first appearance of Richard Kiel’s Jaws that really sets this apart from the rest of Moore’s fluff.

    Entertainment doesn’t come much slicker than this.
