Wasn't particularly impressed with Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), but the Bond girls were nice.Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-89952793059036497582016-04-24T13:46:36.469-05:002016-04-24T13:46:36.469-05:00Thanks for the good words.

(No offense to other elegant gentlemen who have played him.) Sir Roger was just über-cool, and M's technology was mind-blowing (my favorite was the car that turned into a submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me.) And yes, the girls were prettier. (Although Ursula Andress was pretty statuesque in the 60s...)<br /><br />The Man with the Golden Gun is an amazing film, with its exotic locations, and best of all Christopher Lee and Herve Villachaize...you have made me want to see it again, along with View to Kill. <br />My favorite Roger Moore Bond Girls were Barbara Bach (Spy) and Lois Chiles (Moonraker). <br /><br />Quiggy, you have perfectly articulated the appeal of the era and this genre. Awesome.<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-21885920040779595792016-04-23T21:24:46.449-05:002016-04-23T21:24:46.449-05:00I agree 100%....Roger Moore was the best Bond.

I recall reading somewhere that he was one of the original choices to play Bond in film however he was already tied up with The Saint at the time so the timing was bad. A View to a Kill is my favorite of all the Bond films ( the one I grew up with too ) and I always thought it had the best opening teaser of them all. The new 007 films are okay but Craig lacks Moore's comical asides ( even Brosnan was quick with the lines )...and they took all the wild fun out of the Bond franchise. Incidentally, I would hit the drive-in in a flash if this double-feature were playing; you picked a great line-up.The Metzinger Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728879307994086409noreply@blogger.com
