October 23, Full Review…. Never did top that first stunt. October 13, Full Review…. The ostensible hero is just a fleshy blur. May 5, Full Review…. Saltzman had branched out into several other ventures of dubious promise and consequently was struggling through personal financial reversals unrelated to Bond. This was exacerbated by the twin personal tragedies of his wife's terminal cancer and many of the symptoms of clinical depression in himself. Another troubling aspect of the production was the difficulty in obtaining a director. The producers approached Steven Spielberg , who was in post-production of Jaws , but ultimately decided against him.
With a director finally secured, the next hurdle was finishing the script, which had gone through several revisions by numerous writers. The initial villain of the film was Ernst Stavro Blofeld ; however Kevin McClory , who owned the film rights to Thunderball forced an injunction on Eon Productions against using the character of Blofeld, or his international criminal organisation, SPECTRE , which delayed production of the film further.
The villain was later changed from Blofeld to Stromberg so that the injunction would not interfere with the production. Christopher Wood was later brought in by Lewis Gilbert to complete the script. Although Fleming had requested that no elements from his original book be used, the film characters of Jaws and Sandor are based on the novel characters Sol Horror and Sluggsy Morant, respectively.
Horror is described as having steel-capped teeth, while Sluggsy had a clear bald head. Since Ian Fleming permitted Eon to use only the name of his novel and not the actual novel, Fleming's name was moved for the first time from above the film's title to above "James Bond ". His name reverted to the traditional location for Moonraker , the last Eon Bond film based on a Fleming novel before 's Casino Royale.
In the second volume of his autobiography, Burgess claims to have worked on an early treatment for the movie. The British television producer Gerry Anderson also stated that he provided a film treatment although originally planned to be Moonraker much similar to what ended up as The Spy Who Loved Me.
Eventually, Richard Maibaum provided the screenplay, and at first he tried to incorporate ideas from all of the other writers into his script.
Maibaum's original script featured an alliance of international terrorists attacking SPECTRE's headquarters and deposing Blofeld, before trying to destroy the world for themselves to make way for a New World Order. However, this was shelved. After Gilbert was reinstated as director, he decided to bring in another writer, Christopher Wood.
Broccoli asked Wood to create a villain with metal teeth, Jaws, inspired by a brace-wearing henchman named Horror in Fleming's novel. Broccoli agreed to Wood's proposed changes, but before he could set to work there were more legal complications. In the years since Thunderball , Kevin McClory had set up two film companies and was trying to make a new Bond film in collaboration with Sean Connery and novelist Len Deighton.
In the film, Stromberg's scheme to destroy civilisation by capturing Soviet and British nuclear submarines and have them fire intercontinental ballistic missiles at two major cities is actually a recycled plot from Gilbert's previous Bond film, You Only Live Twice , which involved stealing space capsules to start a war between the Soviets and the Americans. The similarity was apparent in the climax; both films involved an assault on a heavily fortified enemy that had taken refuge behind steel shutters. The scheme in which the villain wishes to destroy mankind to create a new race or new civilisation was also used in Moonraker , the next film after The Spy Who Loved Me.
In Moonraker , the villain Hugo Drax had an obsession with starting human civilisation over again on Earth, using specially chosen "superior human specimens" based in space. The film Moonraker was also written by Christopher Wood. Tom Mankiewicz , who worked on the three preceding Bond films, claims he was called in to do an extensive rewrite of the script. Mankiewicz says he did not receive credit, because Broccoli was limited to the number of non-British in key positions he could employ on the films to obtain Eady Levy assistance. The soundstage was so huge that cinematographer Claude Renoir found himself unable to effectively light it due to his deteriorating eyesight, and so Stanley Kubrick visited the production, in secret, to advise on how to light the stage.
This was demonstrated with the Atlantis , which is a dome and curved surfaces outside, and many curved objects in Stromberg's office inside. The main unit began its work in August in Sardinia. He drove a prototype Lotus Esprit with all Lotus branding taped over, and parked it outside the Eon offices at Pinewood studios; on seeing the car Eon asked Lotus to borrow both of the prototypes for filming. Initial filming of the car chase sequence resulted in disappointing action sequences. While moving the car between shoots, Lotus test driver Roger Becker impressed with his handling of the car and for the rest of filming on Sardinia, Becker became the stunt driver.
The motorcycle sidecar missile used in one chase sequence was built by film staff at Pinewood and used a standard Kawasaki Z and a custom made sidecar outfit.
The Spy Who Loved Me is a British spy film, the tenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the third to star Roger Moore as the. The Spy Who Loved Me may refer to: The Spy Who Loved Me (novel), the novel by Ian Fleming; The Spy Who Loved Me (film), the film named after.
The sidecar was made large enough so that a stuntman could lie flat inside. It had two 10 inch scooter wheels on each side, a Suzuki engine and the detached projectile was steered through a small solid rubber wheel at the front. A heavily smoked perspex nose allowed the stuntman sufficient visibility to steer the device whilst being entirely hidden from view.
A pincer type lock held the sidecar in place until operated by the pilot via a solenoid switch. The sequences involving the outfit were speeded up as the weight of the sidecar made the outfit very difficult to control. In October, the second unit travelled to Nassau to film the underwater sequences. To perform the car becoming a submarine, seven different models were used, one for each step of the transformation.
One of the models was a fully mobile submarine equipped with an engine built by Miami-based Perry Submarines. The car seen entering the sea was a mock-up shell, propelled off the jetty by a compressed air cannon. During the model sequences, the air bubbles seen appearing from the vehicle were created by Alka-Seltzer tablets. In September, production moved to Egypt. While the Great Sphinx of Giza was shot on the location, lighting problems caused the pyramids to be replaced with miniatures. Additional scenes for the pre-credits sequence were filmed in the Bernina Range in the Swiss alps.
The production team returned briefly to the UK to shoot at the Faslane submarine base before setting off to Spain, Portugal and the Bay of Biscay where the supertanker exteriors were filmed. On 5 December , with principal photography finished, the Stage was formally opened by former Prime Minister Harold Wilson. It was the first theme song in the series to be titled differently from the name of the film, [19] although the title is in the lyrics.
The song met immediate success and is featured in numerous films, including Mr. The Edge of Reason In , it was honoured by the American Film Institute as the 67th greatest song as part of their Years Series. The soundtrack to the film was composed by Marvin Hamlisch , who filled in for veteran John Barry , who was unavailable to work in the United Kingdom because of tax reasons. For instance, while feeding a duplicitous secretary to a shark, Stromberg plays Bach 's " Air on the G String ", which was famous for accompanying disappointed characters in Hamlet cigar commercials.
He then plays the opening string section of the second movement, Andante, of Mozart 's Piano Concerto No. The score also includes two pieces of popular film music scored by Maurice Jarre. The Doctor Zhivago theme, which is played on Anya's music box during the pre-credit sequence, and the theme from Lawrence of Arabia , which appears as background music during a desert sequence. Eon executive Charles Juroe said that at a screening attended by Charles, Prince of Wales , during the Union Jack-parachute scene "I have never seen a reaction in the cinema as there was that night.
You couldn't help it.

Posing as a marine biologist and his wife, they visit Stromberg's base and discover that he had launched a mysterious new supertanker, the Liparus , nine months previously.

You could not help but stand up. Even Prince Charles stood up. For once, the big budget was not wasted. Interestingly, while the sets and gimmicks were the most spectacular to date, Bond and the other characters are toned down there's a minimum of slapstick humour so that they are more realistic than in other Roger Moore films.
Moore gives his best performance in the series Film is a real treat — a well acted, smartly cast, sexy, visually impressive, lavishly produced, powerfully directed mix of a spy romance and a war-mission film. The Times placed Jaws and Stromberg as the sixth and seventh best Bond villains respectively in the series in , [32] and also named the Esprit as the second best car in the series behind the Aston Martin DB5.
Most critics received the film positively: Since the screenplay for the film had nothing to do with Fleming's original novel, Eon Productions, for the first time, authorised a novelisation based upon the script. This would also be the first regular Bond novel published since Colonel Sun nearly a decade earlier. The novelisation and the screenplay, although both written by Wood, are somewhat different.
Their role begins during the pre-title. After the mysterious death of Fekkish, SMERSH appears yet again, this time capturing and torturing Bond for the whereabouts of the microfilm that retains plans for a submarine tracking system Bond escapes after killing two of the interrogators. In the book, Jaws remains attached to the magnet that Bond dips into the tank, as opposed to the film where Bond releases Jaws into the water. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
