ROGER MOORE as "Bond, James Bond" Bond did not become well known in the U.S. until President John F. Kennedy listed "From Russia, with Love" among his 10 favorite books in a March 17, 1961, Life article. Barry Nelson was the first actor to play James Bond on screen in a 1954 adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale on the television anthology series Climax! (preceding Sean Connery's 1962 interpretation in Dr. No). Sheet music for the movie "THE SPY WHO LOVED ME" NOBODY DOES IT BETTER The film takes its title from Ian Fleming's 1962 novel The Spy Who Loved Me, the tenth book in the James Bond series, though it does not contain any elements of the novel's plot. The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Karl Stromberg, who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilisation under the sea. Bond teams up with a Soviet agent, Anya Amasova, to stop the plans, all while being hunted by Stromberg’s powerful henchman, Jaws. The theme song, "Nobody Does It Better", was composed by Marvin Hamlisch, written by Carole Bayer Sager, and performed by Carly Simon. In 2004, it was honoured by the American Film Institute as the 67th greatest song as part of their 100 Years Series. The soundtrack to the film was composed by Marvin Hamlisch, who filled in for veteran John Barry. Carole Bayer Sager was involved in a romantic relationship with Marvin Hamlisch in the late 1970s. In 1982, she married Burt Bacharach, divorced in 1991. The Lotus Esprit, also known as Wet Nellie, capable of transforming from car to submarine in the film, was purchased for £616,000 at a London auction in October 2013 by Elon Musk, who planned to rebuild the vehicle and attempt to make the fictional dual-purpose car be an actual dual-purpose car (underwater and on land).
