First sketch of the home life of Ian Bannen as downtrodden London middle manager Lowe, who bought shoelaces from the will-be villain, in the second segment (titled An Act Of Kindness) of the horror anthology, carrying little weight with his wife (Diana Dors as Mabel) or son (John O'Farrell), the first feature from the later Hollywood-based prolific TV director Kevin Connor, in From Beyond The Grave, 1973, from stories by Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes.

For Your Eyes Only (1981) -- (Movie Clip) -- Open, Some Sort Of Emergency At a Buckinghamshire parish cemetery, west of London, James Bond (Roger Moore, in his fifth appearance, in the 12th United Artists 007 feature) encounters a vicar (Fred Bryant), a pilot (George Sweeney) then a cat who must be Ernst Stavro Blofeld (voice by Robert Rietty), opening For Your Eyes Only, 1981.

For Your Eyes Only (1981) -- (Movie Clip) -- Title Song, Credits With Bond (Roger Moore) having apparently finally offed Blofeld in the opening, then (unusually) appearing himself in the credit and title song sequence, giving way to then pop-sensation Sheena Easton, becoming (still!) the only Bond theme vocalist ever to appear on camera, with the Academy Award-nominated song by Bill Conti and Michael J. Leeson, which reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard chart, from For Your Eyes Only, 1981.

For Your Eyes Only (1981) -- (Movie Clip) -- I Hope You Have A Car Having parked his Lotus, casing “a villa near Madrid,” where Cuban assassin Gonzales (Stefan Kalipha), who killed an MI6-asset couple, is being paid off by an unidentified spook (Michael Gothard), Bond (Roger Moore) is captured, until the victims’ daughter (Carole Bouquet) steps in with a crossbow, in For Your Eyes Only, 1981.

Lifeforce (1985) -- (Movie Clip) In A Sense We're All Vampires Edgy scientist Fallade (Frank Finlay) is sharing early theories with high-powered British security man Caine (Peter Firth) about the vampire-like space girl who’s escaped into London, while two soldiers (Milton Cadman, Rupert Baker) watch over her two partners (Bill Malin and Mick’s brother Christopher Jagger), in Lifeforce, 1985.

Nurse On Wheels (1963) -- (Movie Clip) To The Last Quivering Nerve Still on her first days’ rounds, new district nurse Joanna (Juliet Mills) meets distracted Dr. Golfrey senior (David Horne) then his son (Ronald Howard), more relevant to her job, in Nurse On Wheels, 1963, from the Carry On! team of Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas.
