Broccoli Keywords: Action/Adventure, James Bond, Virus Under cover as a heraldic researcher, James Bond infiltrates Piz Gloria, Blofeld's allergy research laboratory situated in a lair atop the Swiss Alps.

REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 1-May-2006) I have loved this
James Bond movie since it was first shown in 1969. It was panned for a
long time probably as a "bad" entry, because Sean Connery was not James
Bond. However, this James Bond entry is among the best in my opinion.
This is the only time we see James Bond truly in love (except for maybe
The Spy Who Loved Me and his affection for Jinx). This is the only time
he was married. This movie was not about gadgets, extraordinary hype
shots, but a true love story. We see Bond a bit more vunerable than
usual. The scenery is extraordinary, she ski shots exceptional. I love
the score as well. Michael N. Washington
Review by Baganda (posted on 10-Oct-2007) Wonderful film. The man (Sean Connery) is so handsome and walks handsomely. My first time to see this movie was in 1979. In 1973, I had read a book about this film. When I saw him in action, I could not take my eyes off the actors themselves. The only sad thing is the newlywed getting shot in the forehead (though this was a movie) but it touched me all the days of my life.
Really a very thrilling one!
Review by Ray Tee (posted on 20-Mar-2005) I saw this film first time on VHS in 1982. What made did this film different was the character of James Bond. In contra to both connery and more this guy was a bit sad and inadvert, carrying a mask of selfconfidence. But George Lazenby made a good performance of it. This film has its flaws, especially bad job done by those in post-production. But of some reason it captured a charisma of alpine winter,especially that part of the movie where Lazenby escapes the alpine HQ until he makes hay with Diana Rigg. I visited the location in Switzerland and it is just as stunning as in the movie..
Do you know something we don't?
