Production

For Your Eyes Only is noted for its title sequence which sees what is believed to be the final comeuppance of the supervillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Bond's enemy in five previous films. The sequence of the film was initially scripted to aid the introduction and establishment of a new actor to portray James Bond since Roger Moore, who had starred in four previous films as Bond, was reluctant to return. The sequence begins with Bond laying flowers at the grave of his wife, Teresa de Vincenzo alias Tracy Bond, but ends with Blofeld attempting to get even with Bond for foiling his plans and for the downfall of his criminal organization SPECTRE.

For this film, Blofeld is deliberately not named due to copyright issues with Kevin McClory, who owns the film rights to Thunderball which supposedly includes the character Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the organization SPECTRE, and a number of other material associated with the development of Thunderball. The demise of Blofeld was added to show that the James Bond series did not need Blofeld and was also done after a number of attempts by Kevin McClory to produce a rival Bond film based on his ownership of the screen rights to Thunderball. This includes a failed attempt in the late 1970s of an original Bond film that resulted in a lawsuit brought about by EON Productions and United Artists. Nevertheless McClory was able to film a remake of Thunderball entitled Never Say Never Again which was released opposite Octopussy in 1983. Image File history File links Glover2. ...

Initially it seemed Roger Moore would not return as 007 for this outing, so interviews and screentests were held for a replacement. At the forefront were Lewis Collins, famous for his role as Bodie in The Professionals, Michael Billington and Ian Ogilvy, who like Moore had made his name playing Simon Templar in Return of the Saint.

Other controversial incidents also occurred with the release of For Your Eyes Only. The first involving the film's teaser poster artwork, which showcased a model in thong-like shorts holding a crossbow with Bond framed between her long legs. This was deemed in some U.S. states as indecent exposure. A later version of the teaser was released with a superimposed pair of shorts painted over the original artwork. The other controversial incident wasn't revealed until some time after the release, in which it was discovered that one girl, Caroline Cossey (aka Tula), that was used in a pool scene turned out to be transsexual. Urban legends about the incident greatly exaggerated Cossey's role, from a non-speaking "girl at pool" to someone who had "heavy love scenes" with Moore.^[1] In reality, Cossey appears only fleetingly and is only clearly visible in one or two shots. 15th century French soldier wearing a helmet and a hauberk, carrying a crossbow/arbalest and a pavise. ...

For Your Eyes Only marked a creative change of direction for the Bond film series. John Glen was promoted from his duties as a film editor to director, a position he would occupy throughout the 1980s. A result of this was a harder-edged directorial style, with less emphasis on gadgetry and large action sequences in huge arenas (as was favoured by Lewis Gilbert). More emphasis on tension, plot, and character was also added in addition to a return to Bond's more serious roots.

Emile Locque

An example of this is a scene in which Bond kicks a car with a villain inside over a cliff, essentially murdering him in cold blood, though it is clearly in retaliation for the earlier cold-blooded murder of Agent Ferrara. This was, and still is to this day, somewhat controversial amongst fans to whether Ian Fleming's James Bond would commit such an act. Roger Moore was also strongly opposed to the aforementioned scene in which Bond kills the villain Emile Locque, claiming his Bond wouldn't do such a thing. (The scene does appear more at home in a Sean Connery or Timothy Dalton 007 film.) This, however, contradicts the fact that his Bond kills at least two, possibly three, people in cold blood in an earlier film, The Spy Who Loved Me (a thug whom Bond lets fall from a roof, the villain Karl Stromberg whom Bond executes after he's been disarmed, and possibly a woman whom Bond is seen to use as a human shield during an assassination attempt).

Throughout the entire James Bond series of films, this is the only film where M is absent. Bernard Lee had died while preparing for the film, and instead of recasting, the role was left vacant out of respect. Miss Moneypenny, M's personal secretary claims that he is on leave, and his chair is filled by his 'Chief of Staff', Bill Tanner, with M's lines being shared between Tanner and Sir Fredrick Gray (Minister of Defence).

In order to blend the plots of the two short stories, several changes were made for the film. Since the film is set in Greece, closer to the location of Risico than to that of For Your Eyes Only, the Havelocks were changed from being Jamaican, as in the short story, to an Anglo-Greek couple (Mr. Havelock being English and Mrs. Havelock being Greek). Havelock's daughter, "Judy," was also renamed "Melina" in the film to give her a more ethnic sounding name. The film also contains elements from several Ian Fleming stories: The warring smuggler characters Kristatos and Columbo come from Risico. The keelhauling sequence comes from the novel Live and Let Die, a scene unused in the previous film adaptation. The Identograph comes from the novel Goldfinger, where it was originally called the "Identicast". Live and Let Die is the second novel in Ian Flemings James Bond series. ...

Today For Your Eyes Only is often cited as one of the strongest films of the series and is usually considered a contender alongside The Spy Who Loved Me as Moore's best Bond film. Overall, For Your Eyes Only accumulated a box office gross of $195,300,000, and became the second highest grossing Bond film after its predecessor, Moonraker. This was the last James Bond film to be solely released by United Artists. Following the MGM and United Artists merger, the films were released by "MGM/UA Distribution Co".

Many of the underwater scenes, especially involving close-ups of Bond and Melina, were actually faked on a dry soundstage.

Plot

The Corfu location where the Havelock's yacht was moored off the coast

After the title sequence in which Bond escapes being trapped inside a helicopter that is remotely controlled by Blofeld (Assumed, called "Bald Villain" in credits, due to legal trouble) —turning the helicopter on his enemy, who is in a motorized wheelchair, picking him up, and dumping him down a smokestack—the film turns its focus to the recovery of the vital Automatic Targeting and Attack Communicator (ATAC). This device is lost in the Ionian Sea after the British spy ship St. Georges is sunk by an old mine hauled up in its fishing nets (a distinct reminiscent of the so called "Corfu channel case" of 1946). The ATAC system is used by the Ministry of Defence to communicate and co-ordinate the Royal Navy's fleet of Polaris submarines. If ATAC was retrieved underwater by another superpower, the submarines' ballistic missiles (equipped with nuclear weapons) could be used against major western cities.

Sir Timothy Havelock, a marine archaeologist hired by the British Secret Service, and his wife are murdered by a Cuban hitman, Hector Gonzales, while he is searching for the wreck of the St Georges. Gonzales pilots the seaplane that brings Havelock's daughter Melina to Havelock's yacht, then turns the plane's hidden machine guns on the Havelocks. Only Melina survives. Bond is subsequently sent after Gonzales to find out who hired him but is beaten to it by Melina, who kills him before Bond can find out.

After identifying a hitman in Gonzales' estate (Locque) who appeared to be paying him, Bond is led to a well-connected Greek businessman and intelligence informant, Aris Kristatos, who tells Bond that the man he saw is employed by Milos Columbo, a Greek smuggler. But when Bond confronts Columbo it emerges that Locque is actually in the employ of Kristatos who himself is in the employ of the KGB. Kristatos is attempting to recover the ATAC for the KGB, and had set up Columbo as the villain as the latter knew too much about Kristatos' KGB leanings. Columbo proves this connection to Bond by allowing Bond to take part in a raid on one of Kristatos' factories where they find Locque.

In the climax Bond, Columbo's team, and Melina break into a mountaintop monastery being used by Kristatos to meet Gogol where he will turn over the ATAC. In order to gain access to the mountaintop, one would normally use an open basket that is winched up into a building hanging over the edge of the mountain, but this is being guarded. So Bond climbs up the sheer face of the mountain and, after reaching the top, helps his team up in the open basket. Bond eventually retrieves the ATAC system and then subsequently throws it over a cliff (where it is dashed to pieces on the rocks below) rather than keep it and risk losing it to the KGB chief General Gogol, with the quip "That's détente, comrade.

After the ever-more outlandish plots of The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker — the latter film literally taking Bond out of this world — it was decided that the James Bond series needed to return to reality. For Your Eyes Only attempts to go back to the more basic style of Dr. No and From Russia with Love. One of the most popular sequences of the film is when Bond's venerable Lotus Esprit is destroyed after a henchman working for Gonzales attempts to break into the car, which in turn activated the car's self-destruct function that was built into its security system. The destruction of his car forces Bond and Melina to make an escape in a Citroën 2CV, which was considered symbolic of Bond turning away from the more extreme gadgets of the past.

Release and reception

For Your Eyes only is viewed as a contender against Roger Moore's The Spy Who Loved Me by fans. The reception was, however, mixed by fans. Many critisized the death of Emile Locke, as it showed Bond coldly kicking his car over a cliff. This was controversial as to whether Roger Moore's Bond would commit such an act.

Reviews were mixed, as shown on Rotten Tomatoes, with a score of 62% "Fresh" rating.

Two major differences in the comic book include the addition of M, who was technically in the initial drafts of the screenplay until Bernard Lee's death in early 1981 and the villain's given name, which for unknown reasons was "Ari Kristatos" instead of the film version's "Aris Kristatos" (or "Aristotle Kristatos"), although he is referred to as "Uncle Ari" both by Bond and Bibi Dahl in the movie. The comic also includes additional suggestive dialogue by Bibi Dahl (aimed at Bond) that was never used in (or was perhaps edited from) the film.
