Jo is turning her passion for film and TV into a new screenwriting career and has some fascinating insights she's excited to share.
The 1980s were a decade of transition. The Soviet Union was collapsing, the launch of MTV was changing the face of the music industry and the technological revolution was getting underway with the introduction of the World Wide Web. As is often the case, art imitates life and the 80s were also a transitional period for the James Bond franchise, with three very different actors stepping into the role .
While not one of the best Roger Moore Bond movies, his role in Octopussy was still in keeping with the wise-cracking playboy spy he had become known for. It's more the lack of a worthy adversary that makes this a disappointing movie. When compared with the on-screen presence of other Bond villains like Goldfinger and Blofeld, Orlov and Kahn are largely forgettable.
Release Date October 7, 1983 Director Irvin Kershner Cast Sean Connery , Kim Basinger , Klaus Maria Brandauer , Barbara Carrera , Max Von Sydow , Bernie Casey Runtime 134 3 'For Your Eyes Only' Director: John Glen When a British spy boat sinks in For Your Eyes Only, Bond is ordered to retrieve its Automated Targeting and Tracking Communicator before the Soviets can get to it.
For a generation that had grown up following the outlandish escapes of the devil-may-care Bond played by Moore, Dalton might be considered a little dull in comparison, but watching the films today offers a different perspective. Dalton might not have been Ian Fleming's ideal choice for Bond, but he was definitely the closest on-screen representation of the British secret agent written about in his novels.
