The Spy Who Loved Me

Great Globe-Trotting, Spectacular Locations, thrilling action and fun vibe

Roger Moore did more official James Bond films as secret agent 007 than any other actor. He started the role when he was almost 45 years-old and ended his 7-film stint at 57. His third Bond film was “The Spy Who Loved Me” released in 1977 and it’s one of the most entertaining movies in the series.

The plot revolves around 007 teaming up with female Russian agent XXX (yeah right) to prevent world-hating Karl Stromberg (Curd Jürgens) from starting World War III by stealing nuclear subs. Stromberg doesn't ca...

Commander James Bond, recruited to the British Secret Service from the Royal Navy. License to kill and has done so on numerous occasions.

The Spy Who Loved Me is directed by Lewis Gilbert and adapted to screenplay by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum from the novel written by Ian Fleming. It stars Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curt Jurgens, Richard Kiel and Walter Gotell. Music is scored by Marvin Hamlisch and cinematography by Claude Renoir.

Bond 10. Allied and Soviet nuclear submarines are mysteriously disappearing from the waters and causing friction between the nations. MI6 and the ...

Not my favourite outing for "James Bond" this one, perhaps because the opening snow-scape scenes rely too heavily on green screen - maybe Roger Moore didn't like skiing, or just couldn't get insured - but in any case he certainly never left Pinewood for the first ten minutes here. It then leads into one of the more preposterous stories in which he must team up with the glamorous Soviet agent "Amasova" (Barbara Bach) to track down what has happened to two nuclear submarines that have vanished. It's got the usual travelogue elements - we go via Austria, to Egypt before the high seas where we enc...

Now, I am 100% in the "Sean Connery was the greatest Bond and had the greatest 007 movies ever made" camp...

... so take it to heart when I say that this is Roger Moore's greatest outing as 007 and one of the best 007 movies (with one of the best 007 introductory songs) ever made.

This is Roger Moore at his absolute finest in a games bond movie with Barbra Bach being a great female spy with one of the best, most suggestive, Bond Girl names since Honor Blackman's (this review probably won't make it past the censors if I wrote her character's name)... and that, of course, would be Agent Tr...

**The Spy Who Loved Me gives Roger Moore the perfect formula to show off his goofy Bond charm with exotic locations, extravagant gadgets, big battle scenes, and a great supporting cast.**

The Spy Who Loved Me is my favorite Roger Moore and one of the best classic Bond films. Live and Let Die was his first and a less conventional Bond movie. Man with the Gold Gun was ok, but The Spy Who Loved Me finally fired on all cylinders for Moore. Beautiful locations, exciting villains, a catastrophic nuclear threat, a strong, capable Bond girl, and a dangerous romance give Moore’s third outing as Bo...
