Film Alternative Titles

The Sidekick

Is there alternative titles for the films (or possibly the novels), hwne the film is so different from the film, e.g Diamonds Are Forever & The Spy Who Loved Me?

You Only Live Twice
Diamonds Are Forever
Live And Let Die
The Man With The Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only (Risico & For Your Eyes Only)
Octopussy
A View To A Kill

Are all very different from the actual novel.

There are a few titles Fleming considered before settling on the final one, and some his agents/publishers came up with as alternatives. A few of them are below.

YOU ASKED FOR IT, THE DEADLY GAMBLE: CR
THE UNDERTAKER'S WIND: LALD
MONDAYS ARE HELL, OUT OF THE CLEAR SKY, TOO HOT TO HANDLE: MR
THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD: GF
THE ROUGH WITH THE SMOOTH: FYEO
THE BELLES OF HELL: OHMSS

There's a longer list elsewhere, but I can't remember the thread title.

I thought it was simply Hell's Belles as opposed to The Belles of Hell but no matter.

Slightly off-topic, but someone at work sent me this, which offers the various anagrams to be derived from Quantum of Solace.
