For Your Eyes Only (1981): Roger Moore as James Bond 007


     Directed by John Glen, based on the book by Ian Fleming, For Your Eyes Only (1981) was the 12th film in the James Bond series, and the fifth to star Roger Moore as MI6 Agent 007. The story finds James Bond tasked with finding a missing ATAC missile command unit, which was on board a ship that was sunk by smugglers. Beautiful Mediterranean locales provide a beautiful backdrop. The scuba diving scenes in which 007 and Melina swim through Ancient Greek underwater ruins, complete with columns and statuary, are particularly lovely. Explosions, ski chases and fast-paced action offers proper balance for a spy film. Roger Moore does a fine job as James Bond. Carole Bouquet is exotic as the Bond Girl. The supporting cast is good as well, includingLynn-Holly Johnson, Cassandra Harris, Julian Glover and Chaim Topol. Sheena Easton performs the title song.
