A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

"Nobody does it better" than Roger Moore in this big-budget James Bond adventure. In a plot reminiscent of You Only Live Twice, 007 is dispatched to learn the whereabouts of some missing nuclear submarines. Along the way, he tangles with the metal-toothed Jaws (Richard Kiel) and an alluring Russian agent (Barbara Bach). It's far-fetched mayhem, of course, but with a welcome accent on character rather than just spectacle - although the pre-credits ski-jump stunt is one of the franchise's best. Carly Simon's theme song has stood the test of time, too.
