Eleventh Bond movie sees Roger Moore's 007 pursue space-obsessed villain Michael Lonsdale through California, Venice, Brazil, and then into outer space. Hardly any of the plot of the novel survives, but this was the most successful Bond film up to that point when it was first released. The final film to feature Bernard Lee. Mounted at short notice to replace For Your Eyes Only after a film about stars and a war proved unexpectedly popular a couple of years earlier.

Viewed as a whole it *is* completely absurd, even for a Bond movie, but the awkward fact is that it is made up of set-piece after set-piece which are simply polished and great fun (not that there isn't the occasional badly-misjudged moment). Good action, good effects, great music and possibly the greatest closing gag in Bond history: I really shouldn't like it, but I do.
