That had good things in it - the baccarat game between Orson Welles and Peters Sellers was excellent, IMHO. As a teenager I really fancied Joanna Pettet and Barbara Bouchet, too.

BTW, doing some followup to last night's viewing, I note that Roger Moore considered this his latest favorite of the 7 he did; at some point in the filming, he met his leading lady's mother, who was younger than he was, and that depressed him. Also, he and Miss Jones hated each other, as you can tell in their rather grisly love scene. More grisley than you think - she rolled into bed next to him with a large black dildo! He said, on Radio 2's My Word is MY Bond, 'I'm glad she found it amusing'.

Robin Williams was on Engish TV the other day and described how his friend, Christopher Walken, talks to him. It's exactly the way Max Zorin talks!

The rogue Soviet general trying to create an incident was more intriguing than the usual Ming the Merciless wannabe, and the movie managed to find humor without mocking the material -- or the audience. It raised my hopes after Moonraker (people actually groaned at the chase in front of product-placement billboards), but then came A View to a Kill. Side note: Here in the San Jose, one of the biggest laughs in the last-named film came when Zorin looked through a telescope and they inserted an aerial still of some Palo Alto tech campus. It was the only time we ever saw the constantly discussed "Silicon Valley," and throughout the film you felt that nobody connected with the production, onscreen or off, ever ventured south of San Francisco.

Revered in the UK Posts: 11,073 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: August 31, 2005	When Octopussy was released, our local film critic in the Hub of the Universe, Akron, Ohio, decreed that it was the best Bond since the first three or four, and a return to form for a tired series, and just slobbered all over it. So I actually had high hopes for it. Uh, yeah. In the last couple of years, when Kid Gravy and I watched all the Bond films from the new DVDs, it was the one and only film in the set that I couldn't remember a damn thing about while rewatching it. So I saw it a few months ago, and today, June 17, I still can't remember a damn thing about it.

Mannerisms I should have said - Robin Williams imitated Walken's mannerisms and they were identical to Max Zorin's, lol. It makes Walken's performance more fun to watch when you know that. Mind you, Williams might have been being a saucy cove about his friend, Walken!
