THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977)

LEWIS GILBERT

Plot

Bond for the Brits, including a spectacular ski-jump with an unfolding Union Jack, lots of smutty innuendo and camp, home-grown tech wizadry and Bond gets to keep 'our end up'. A shipping magnate, Stromberg, employs two brilliant scientists to develop a submarine tracking system and, when British and Soviet submarines vanish while on routine moves, Bond and his Soviet counterpart, Major Anya Amasovais, are called into action. Though initially working against each other, Bond and Anya must combine and must deal with a bunch of goons, including Jaws, a towering goliath with metal teeth. When a US submarine is also hijacked, Bond and Anya must move quickly to avert World War 3, which Stromberg is hoping to start... but not before ruthlessly murdering his young assistant by dumping her into a tank inhabited by a man-eating tiger shark. Basically the Brits, the Russians and Martini-style locations combine to thwart a bunch of nasties from destroying the world.
