AJB live commentary on FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

Thunderbird 2

Its a miniature! The Lotus goes to pieces.....was that Bomb Simmons who butted out?

Higgins

Here Bouquet plays it pretty well.
Later she‘s often wooden and seems to be uncomfortable

Number24

I think the 2CV chase is inventive and fun.

Barbel

The driving double is clearly seen

Shady Tree

Barbel, you must be ahead... 'A Drive In The Country' is starting now

Higgins

They painted the entire city with new paint!

I'll pause

Thunderbird 2

The location shooting of the chase is far more memorable than I remember...

Ramie Julienne seems to be enjoying himself!

Golrush007

"Go backwards forwards quickly" has long been a favourite line for me. )

Shady Tree

Carole Bouquet has this endearing thing of giving Bond nervous looks for reassurance, and affording the occasional smile :x

Higgins

We are not 30 minutes in the movie and Conti has put a firework of fresh and non-repetitive tracks!

Barbel

Bond and Melina discuss revenge- ok for time?

Shady Tree

That was a brilliant sequence... exciting and good fun.

Now Moore and Bouquet have a good character scene together.

Barbel

Bond calls on Q

Thunderbird 2

Greek women like Electra avenge their loved ones.... there’s a twist!

Higgins

Timestamp: Q

Number24

I just pictured Roger Moore's Bond trying to talk DaltonBond from avenging Leiter and Della .... )

About right timing now.

Identigraph- adapted from a scene in the GF novel

Golrush007

The identigraph scene is one of my favourite 'Fleming' moments in the film, as it harks back to a chapter of Fleming's Goldfinger novel. It was called 'identicast' in the novel.

Thunderbird 2

A machine that goes “Banana!” The Crimewatch UK Identigraph.

) Moore the voice of reason, before Tim kicks him in the balls and leaps over a balcony...

Higgins

Amazing how the building empties within minutes

Number24

Computer-based scenes date very easily, but it's a fun scene.

Higgins

Timestamp: Cortina

The road is just below the Miramonti hotel!

Barbel

Bond arriving at hotel, bumping into Ferrara- reminds me of a scene in one of the Pink Panther films.

Number24

Bond driving the Lotus into Cortina looks beautiful.

Higgins

The white Range Rover was that Moore‘s private car?

Either I missed your Sarcasm Higgins, or You have not worked in many offices.
I refer to it as ‘pulling out the plug time’ in my office.

Shady Tree

I know that we have a blonde 'Grant clone' in this movie - Kriegler - but the villain who's really in the tradition of Grant is Locque... an impressive 'silent' villain.

'Cortina' is one of my favourite Conti cues in this.
