For Your Eyes Only

From Tysto commentaries:

Bond is back! This time, the film makers mine the depths of Fleming’s short stories and cobble something together that is… pretty dang good, actually. There are no gadgets, the girls are not great, and there are no fantastic Ken Adam sets, but there’s also nothing much to really hate—except the idiotic Blofeld appearance at the beginning.

I examine the construction of the plot, defend it against those who say it’s too much like From Russia with Love, and complain that Locque isn’t much of a villain. I lament the birth defect that left Carole Bouquet with a non-functioning forehead and a mustache nearly as luxurious as Topol’s, as well as whatever it is that makes Lynn-Holley Johnson so annoying and seven years too old to be to young for James Bond. And I lament the fact the Roger Moore is just too old to run up all those steps.

So this is Carole Bouquet as Melina. … Beautiful girl but quite tragically born without a functioning forehead. … From time to time, she actually opens her eyes all the way. I guess that’s acting. — Tysto Commentaries,

[Kriegler is] in the middle of this competition where he has to shoot things, and she’s … trying to make a date. That’s just really annoying—especially because he’s gay. She clearly says later, ‘He doesn’t even talk to girls.’ — Tysto Commentaries,

It seems that even Bond cars are made and not born, because they seem to have dubbed the car with a nice V8 rumble instead of the high-pitched V4 whine that a Lotus Esprit really would have had. — Tysto Commentaries,

[as Melina] ‘Oh! How did you know I was here?’ [as Bond] ‘Oh, well, actually, I just checked around at the shops that wax ladies’ mustaches. It’s Greece, so there are a lot of them, … but eventually I found one that knew you.’ — Tysto Commentaries,

You can tell that Carole Bouquet is not an actual puppet in this movie because, if she were a puppet, she would have been given larger breasts. — Tysto Commentaries,

[as Brink, Bibi's coach] ‘You must have a sponsor. I had many sponsors when I was your age. I had to do many ‘endorsements’ that were unsavory to me. Hint, hint.’ — Tysto Commentaries,
