For
Your Eyes Only
(1981) is the twelfth spy film in the James Bond series, and the fifth to star Roger
Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It marked the directorial debut of
John Glen, who had worked as editor and second unit director in three other
Bond films.\ The screenplay by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson takes its
characters and combines the plots from two short stories from Ian Fleming's For
Your Eyes Only collection: the title story and "Risico". In the
plot, Bond attempts to locate a missile command system while becoming tangled
in a web of deception spun by rival Greek businessmen along with Melina
Havelock, a woman seeking to avenge the murder of her parents. Some writing
elements were inspired by the novels Live and Let Die, Goldfinger
and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. After the over-the-top, science
fiction-focused Moonraker, the producers wanted a conscious return to
the style of the early Bond films and the works of 007 creator Fleming. For
Your Eyes Only followed a more gritty, realistic approach, and an unusually
strong narrative theme of revenge and its consequences. Filming locations
included Greece, Italy, Spain and England, with underwater footage being shot
in The Bahamas. For Your Eyes Only was released on 24 June 1981 to a
mixed critical reception; the film was a financial success, generating $195.3
million worldwide. This was the last Bond film to be distributed solely by United
Artists; the studio merged with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer soon after this film's
release. Live and Let Die (1973) is the eighth spy film in the James
Bond series to be produced by Eon Productions, and the first to star Roger
Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and
Harry Saltzman, it was the third of four Bond films to be directed by Guy
Hamilton. Although the producers had wanted Sean Connery to return after his
role in the previous Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, he declined,
sparking a search for a new actor to play James Bond. Moore was signed for the
lead role. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming.
In the film, a Harlem drug lord known as Mr. Big plans to distribute two tons of
heroin free to put rival drug barons out of business. Mr. Big, however, is
revealed to be the disguised alter ego of Dr. Kananga, a corrupt Caribbean
dictator, who rules San Monique, the fictional island where the heroin poppies
are secretly farmed. Bond is investigating the death of three British agents,
leading him to Kananga, and is soon trapped in a world of gangsters and voodoo
as he fights to put a stop to the drug baron's scheme. Live and Let Die
was released during the height of the blaxploitation era, and many
blaxploitation archetypes and clichés are depicted in the film, including
derogatory racial epithets ("honky"), black gangsters, and "pimpmobiles".
It departs from the former plots of the James Bond films about megalomaniac
super-villains, and instead focuses on drug trafficking, depicted primarily in
blaxploitation films. It is set in African American cultural centres such as Harlem
and New Orleans, as well as the Caribbean Islands. It was also the first James
Bond film featuring an African American Bond girl to be romantically involved
with 007, Rosie Carver, who was played by Gloria Hendry. Despite mixed reviews,
the film was a box office success and was nominated for the Academy Award for
Best Original Song for "Live and Let Die", written by Paul McCartney
and performed by his band Wings. Goldfinger (1964) is the third film in
the James Bond series and also the third to star Sean Connery as the fictional MI6
agent James Bond. It is based on the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. The
film also stars Honor Blackman as Bond girl Pussy Galore and Gert Fröbe as the
title character Auric Goldfinger, along with Shirley Eaton as famous Bond girl
Jill Masterson. Goldfinger was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry
Saltzman and was the first of four Bond films directed by Guy Hamilton. The
film's plot has Bond investigating gold smuggling by gold magnate Auric
Goldfinger and eventually uncovering Goldfinger's plans to attack the United
States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox. Goldfinger was the first Bond blockbuster
with a budget equal to that of the two preceding films combined. Principal
photography took place from January to July 1964 in
the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the American states of Kentucky and
Florida. The release of the film led to a number of promotional licensed tie-in
items, including a toy Aston Martin DB5 car from Corgi
Toys which became the biggest selling toy of 1964. The promotion also included
an image of gold-painted Shirley Eaton as Jill Masterson on the cover of Life.
Many of the elements introduced in the film appeared in many of the later James
Bond films, such as the extensive use of technology and "gadgets" by
Bond and an extensive pre-credits sequence that was not a major part of the
main storyline. Goldfinger was the first Bond film to win an Academy
Award and opened to largely favourable critical reception. The film was a
financial success, recouping its budget in just two weeks and is hailed as the
series' quintessential episode, still being acclaimed as one of the best films
in the entire Bond canon. Sir Thomas Sean Connery KBE (born 25 August 1930) is
a Scottish actor and producer who has won an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards
(one of them being a BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award) and three Golden Globes
(including the Cecil B. DeMille Award and a Henrietta Award). Connery is best
known for portraying the character James Bond, starring in seven Bond films
between 1962 and 1983 (six Eon Productions films and the non-Eon Thunderball
remake, Never Say Never Again). In 1988, Connery won the Academy Award
for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Untouchables. His film
career also includes such films as Marnie The Name of the Rose The
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,
The Hunt for Red October, Highlander, Murder on the Orient
Express, Dragonheart, and The Rock. He was knighted in July
2000. Connery has been polled as "The Greatest Living Scot" and
"Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure"In 1989, he was
proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine and in 1999,
at age 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of the Century". ebay959
