| Elevator Pitch | When nuclear submarines start disappearing Bond is forced to team up with a Russian spy and together they follow the trail to the submersible habitat of a mad scientist. He is going to initiate world conflict. Can he be stopped? | ||
| Content | Loads of set pieces involving ingenious stuff. The Bond car is a submersible Lotus Esprit, there is a chase amid a “son et lumière” at the pyramids, there is a massive shoot out in a tanker turned into a submarine depot and control space and a number of visits to the scientist’s submersible environment. There is no nudity, just a bit of drinking and some implied sex. | ||
| A View | The setup is alarmingly sexist by today’s standards, some of the set pieces are ridiculously contrived, it is too long, much of the acting is terrible but even so I smiled a lot while watching it, and it is worth anyone’s time just for the opening sequence which has Bond skiiing over a cliff – apparently they really did it, somewhere in the Antarctic. | ||
