Girl: Gala Brand Villain's Plot: Dropping an atomic rocket on London in revenge for Germany loosing the Second World War. Main locations: Strangely Bond doesn't even get to leave the country. He's sent to Drax's rocket centre in the south of England to investigate a murder. The Best Bits include the car chase. The
flamethrower. The countdown to the rocket's launch accompanied by Drax's
chilling "revenge" speech. The movie eventually appeared in 1979
and is among those movies that were least faithfully adapted from the Fleming
source novel. To be fair it is actually among the most watchable
of the 1970s Bond movies and has a good investigation from Bond as he trys
to discover what the plot is. Moore has a great "almost killed by a centrifuge"
scene. Silly humour and laser guns are minus points. Corinne clery
and Lois Chiles are plus points. It remains one of my favourite Fleming
novels.
