I really don't have an intro for this one.James Bond (Sean Connery) is always on the job, no matter what he's actually doing. Whether it's escaping from a manor house by jet pack or relaxing at a spa, he's always got an eye out for danger. And easily coerced female spa employees. This serves him well when M (Bernard Lee) puts him on the case of two missing nuclear warheads. Their old nemesis SPECTRE is back up to nasty little tricks, demanding millions of dollars in diamonds for the return of the warheads. Henchman #2, Emil Largo (Adolfo Celi), has the warheads safely hidden in the Caribbean, he thinks, but he also has a hot mistress named Domino (Claudine Auger) and as everyone knows, Bond can sniff out beautiful women like a shark can sniff out a wounded fish. It's this weakness that fiery assassin Fiona (Luciana Paluzzi) is counting on.
This movie spent about half its running time underwater and there are some great shots of wildlife and reefs interspersed amongst the scuba fighting. Plotwise, there are a number of elements I could have done without but it's not too bad. I just think a "less is more" approach would have been better here. I will say it was nice to see where exactly Mike Meyers got the inspiration for Robert Wagner's character in The Spy Who Shagged Me. As soon as I saw the eyepatch, I was sold.
