James Bond Adventure. A British spy-ship, the St. Georges, accidently hits a mine and sinks near a Warsaw Pact country. On aboard is ATAC, a communications device that could order Western subs to attack friendly areas. 007 is sent to recover the ATAC and the Russians, interested in getting ATAC, send a message to their local "contact". Bond's investigations leads to Greece and he meets Melina Havelock, out for revenge, as the "Contact" has had her parents murdered. Bond also meets Aristotle Kristatos and Milos Colombo (known as "The Dove") and evidence leads that one of them is the Russian's "Contact" but both accuses the other. Melina and Bond sets out to recover the ATAC and not only goes up against the "Contract" but also against Bibi, a young ice-skater, who has a major crush on 007...
AMAZON.COM REVIEWS FOR FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981): Seven films. Four Bonds. One set. This sprawling collection surveysover 30 years of James Bond skullduggery, from the cold war tensions ofthe 1960s to the international free-for-all of the present. Sean Conneryremains the coolest of the Bonds, a ruthless agent with dry martini wit anda way with the women, and in Goldfinger his steely presence helpedforge the Bond formula of tongue-in-cheek wit, wondrous secret agent toyscreated by Q, and megalomaniac supervillains bent on world destruction.Thunderball upped the Bond ante with the most ambitiousadventure--andbudget--to date. Roger Moore brought an altogether lighter tone to 007 withLive and Let Die, softening Connery's rough edges with a moreromantic persona as the films became even more exotic. After a briefdigression into outer space, For Your Eyes Only returned Bond to globetrotting high adventure and teamed him with his most endearing ally(Topol as a gregarious smuggler). Timothy Dalton made his second and finalappearance as Bond in Licence to Kill, the toughest of the Bondfilmssince Connery's early efforts. Though not a fan favorite, it's a sleek,solid adventure with an edge missing from the Moore pictures. PierceBrosnanis the latest to take on 007's licence to kill, combining the best ofConnery's cool and Moore's humor. GoldenEye is the best Bond film inyears, a grand globetrotting adventure with lovely Bond girls and a toughnew M (Judy Dench). Tomorrow Never Dies doesn't recapture that magicmix of action, gadgetry, and romance, but does feature the first Bond girlto match 007 blow for blow: Hong Kong action superstar Michelle Yeoh. Takentogether, this set is a veritable cross-section of the many faces of JamesBond. All that's missing is George Lazenby. Do I hear a nomination for set 2? --Sean Axmaker
