AJB live commentary on FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

Shady Tree

Fleming would have approved of long stretches of this film.

The old school naval chart on the wall of Columbo's yacht, and the raid on Kristatos' warehouse give me more of that wonderful old fashioned adventure yarn feeling which I simply love!

Again, deliberately- Glen said he hoped to have captured an "OHMSS feel"

Oh, I meant this in a very positive kind of way :x

The scene on the beach is superb in all respects and to my mind shows Roger as one of the finest Bond actors. In some ways this is a scene that Craig's Bond might have been in... and not done anything like as well, in terms of performance. Moore performs both rage and human empathy. Craig would have left out the last part.

One of Moore's greatest scenes as Bond

Agreed and now imagine how Dalton would have screwed it up by shedding some tears over Lisls death

True that

Warehouse attack begins

Thunderbird 2

The mines here.... Kristatos set up the sinking of the St George’s?

Or popping a balloon 8-)

Thunderbird 2

It’s a miniature! Warehouse goes BOOM! For twenty five years I thought that was a life size set up.

Higgins

Folks,that movie is almost 40 years old!

It‘s just mindblowing imo

Barbel

Bond vs Locque- fantastic.

Higgins

And now the iconic shooting pose

Number24

Bond kicking the car is a wonderful scene :007)

Shady Tree

Paul Angelis, who plays one of Topol's men, Karageorge, was (like George Sweeney) a familiar face from 'The Sweeney'. (He played the Secret Serviceman confronted by Regan at the climax of the film 'Sweeney!')

Barbel

One of Moore's best scenes, the killing of Locque- and he didn't want to do it!

Another great moment for Moore's Bond.

FYEO and Fluegelhorn

Barbel

Flugelhorn played by Derek Watkins, James Bond's personal trumpeter

Shady Tree

Moore's face looks old through the goggles.

Barbel

Max the parrot

Thunderbird 2

Machine that is NOT Thunderbird 4, but just as good.... The Neptune. Another amazing ‘It’s a Miniature!’

Yes, agreed.

The Bond Theme- underwater version.

Higgins

Neptune is just diving down

'Submarine' - definitely one of my top cues from FYEO's soundtrack.

Bond & Melina underwater looking for ATAC

Shady Tree

The shrill synth for the Bond theme in 'Submarine' isn't good, even though the piece as a whole is a nice composition.

Higgins

Neptune has grounded
