Review of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) by Nbfc — 09 Jan 2018
After two mediocre debut entries (Live and Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun), TSWLM is where the Moore 007 tenure finally found it’s footing.
Features the iconic Lotus Esprit that changes into a submarine, the fantastic pre-title sequence in which Bond skies off a cliff (done for real) and arguably Bond’s most famous 7’2” henchman with metal teeth…Jaws.
The movie also benefits from great set designs (Ex. Stromberg’s supertanker) provided by Ken Adams, whose work on the Connery and Moore films defined the 007 aesthetic.
I also would argue that the theme song "Nobody Does It Better" performed by Carly Simon is the absolute best of the franchise. TSWLM remains not only the best of the Moore Bond films but one of the best in the franchise in general.
