For Your Eyes Only

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.

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.

Back in London, Bond (Roger Moore) visits Q (Desmond Llewelyn) for the requisite gadget-gag sequence, then uses the “Identigraph” to pick out Locque (Michael Gothard), finishing with a mild admonition by Tanner (James Villiers), standing in for “on-leave” M (actually the late Bernard Lee, who died during preparation for the film), in For Your Eyes Only, 1981.

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.
