This afternoon I got home from a family visit to find Spy Who Loved Me was on the TV so being a fan of the film I sat and watched it, fantastic movie and Sir Roger Moore's best Bond in my opinion, any way when it finished I noticed the James Bond will return credit item said, in For Your Eyes Only, now what confused me was/ is I thought after SWLM it was Moonraker? Did they originally intend to release FYEO before Moonraker or was it something to do with the books?

It was originally going to be FYEO but due to the success of Star Wars and other science-fiction movies at that time , Cubby decided to cash in on that success and went with MR instead because the basis of the MR novel is sci-if related.
So it was Star Wars fault then?
True, from a certain point of view.
as always I wonder why Moonraker was not only only the last novel to be adapted, but they intended to adapt a book of short stories before it. Fleming's book seems more inherently cinematic then most of the novels that had gotten adapted so far in the 1970s
