Viewing Notes

This is one I didn’t remember much about. It’s probably been 30+ years since I’ve watched it. It slowly came back to me but not until about a quarter of the way into the film.

I’m coming around to the opinion that the best thing about the ‘70s era Bond films was the amazing set design. The villains have some pretty sweet lairs and the League of Super Villians-like undersea base in this one is no exception. I also liked the great Lamborghini/submarine.

Gotta say that Barbara Bach was pretty disappointing in this. Her acting is the definition of wooden.
