A movie that is remembered thanks to minor characters Bondi had already become the most profitable franchise on the planet by the time of filming the tenth film in the series "The Spy who Loved Me". By that time, one of the co-founders of the project, Harry Saltzman, had left the studio. Albert Broccoli handled the project himself. In general, there were a lot of problems with the film, and it was supposed to be an anniversary, "shoot" better than the previous ones. There were difficulties with the choice of a source for the film adaptation. The novel that was being prepared for the film adaptation was "The Spy who loved me." However, in the end, the project took only the title of the book, becoming the first Bond project that was created according to a completely original script. Broccoli gave preference to director Lewis Gilbert, who nine years ago directed "You Only Live Twice" with Connery. The choice is not bad, considering that the director last time coped "with a bang". He was particularly good at large-scale scenes both times. However, the feeling of second-handness did not leave. Perhaps the reason is precisely in the peculiar corporate style of director Gilbert. But the director definitely coped with his task, giving a strong enough film to the audience. The plot of the picture can hardly be called original, but it certainly has its own distinctive features. The villain Stromberg, perfectly played by Kurd Jurgens, is remembered. His task, like the tasks of many predecessors in the fight against Bond, is to annoy humanity. However, Stromberg sees a new salvation for the world — the complete destruction and reconstruction of the world from scratch. Ambitious, but Agent 007 is unlikely to allow this to happen. This time, the ever-smiling Roger Moore is paired with an agent of the USSR, played by Barbara Bach. Her Anya Amasova appears as a strong heroine, and not an ordinary companion for Bond for a couple of nights. The role of the girl is quite significant in the whole picture. I remember this movie very much. Of course, there is also a conflict between Bond and Amasova for a certain reason, which, I think, should not be disclosed, but it is better to see for yourself. Another notable hero of this whole story managed to enter the list of the most memorable Bond villains. We are talking about the rival of the British agent Jaws, played by Richard Keel. The man, it seems, does not utter a single line for the film, but is remembered for his metal teeth, depressing and dangerous smile and incredibly huge height. Somehow it so happened that I associate this celebration of minor characters with this film. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad. Roger Moore is clearly moving from picture to picture without really changing. In his James Bond, I've never really seen the evolution of the hero. A kind of lover of joking at any convenient and not very convenient moment, whose jokes do not always seem to be in place. It's always been that way with Moore. At first, he was necessarily compared to Sean Connery, which to this day is considered almost a reference Bond. Then the actor (Moore) seemed to find himself, and the audience accepted him. The charming and sometimes silly smile of the hero, frequent humor, a decent age of his 007 — all this created an atmosphere of a comedy thriller around Bond. Maybe it's not bad, but for me personally, the seriousness of the previous Connery films and subsequent films with Dalton look much more advantageous. However, who knows. Maybe it is thanks to the frequent farce that happens on the screen that the image of Jaws, the villain Stromberg with his imperial plans and much more from this film has gone so well. The tone of the picture allows for this, and the viewer is ready to accept it. Nevertheless, the film came out well. The tenth picture about a British agent turned out to be memorable, despite many problems at the production stage and a completely independent project, which for the first time was not based on some work by Ian Fleming, the father of Bond. The proof of success was three Oscar nominations in 1978, including the best soundtrack, song, scenery, as well as two Golden Globes at once — for the song and the soundtrack. The film will look good today. A strong action movie with its own philosophy, where the necessary conflicts are present, a high-quality visual component, good sound and, of course, the spirit of an action adventure. 8 out of 10
