Agreed JackieD. Probably the song was too much in 81, but props to them for thinking that way. I mean, if they got Scott Walker to pen a Bond song, they’re fearless…

Put me down as another huge dalton fan, way better than the others, and the films themselves were superb. I too love the blondie song, way ahead for the bond mentality I am afraid though in 81, had it been the nineties or late eighties then it would have bee appreciated. Fantastic song anyway, great debbie, and here lyrics are great too.

Are you guys Timothy Dalton fans? If so, that makes three of us.

Underrated Bond film, for the reasons Christian notes. It’s more grounded in realism, unlike the majority of the Moore Bond films. I agree about the endaring part of Moore rejecting Johnson as too young. And that scene where he stands aiming at that oncoming car, and then what follows immediately thereafter, is possibly the most genuinely emotional moment of the Moore era.

As Christian and I know, though, it’s all about Dalton!

I like the film as it’s one of the most realistic Moore Bonds. But I hate the soundtrack. And it’s somehow endearing that Moore rejects Johnson for being too young. A 007 first? But the Blondie song would not have been the hit that the Easton version was.

I’ve been buying the Bond Dvd sets & I watched “For Your Eyes Only” recently. This is a pretty darn good Bond film except, except, except for the awful Lynn Holly Johnson character. Her scenes with Roger Moore are excruciating. Also, the hockey scene — bad. Blondie (in 1981) would have been a radically good call for a Bond theme.
