**Excellent Bond film.**

Superior Bond film with Christopher Lee as an assassin who sets his sights on Sir Roger Moore. Big mistake!

A fast moving entry from Guy Hamilton that has lovely locations, incredible stunts - (The car flip has yet to be bettered) sexy ladies, a great theme tune, the return of the hilarious Sheriff J W Pepper and of course the legendary Sir Roger Moore as James Bond.

If only the bland 2006 reboot were as entertaining.
