The Living Daylights
The Living Daylights.....
A new Bond, a new Attitude. When Roger Moore retired from the Bond series after A View to a Kill, producer Albert R "Cubby" Broccoli was, for the first time in many years, without an Agent 007. The search for a new Bond began immediately, eventually, one candidate clearly stood out from the rest : Welsh-born Shakespearean actor Timothy Dalton. Released in 1987, The Living Daylights the plot concerns a diamonds for opium scheme involving a phony KGB defection and assassination operation. Director Glen opens with a thriller of a teaser as bond, in the midst of a Secret Service exercise on Gibralter, uncovers foul play and engages an assassin in battle aboard a speeding jeep loaded explosives.

Grace Jones portrays Zorin`s lanky but powerful assistant, May Day, while former "Charlie`s Angel" Tanya Roberts plays Bond girl Stacey Sutton. Patrick Macnee, debonair star of TV`s Avengers, brings class and a fine touch of humour to the movie in his portrayal of Bond`s
sidekick, Sir Godfrey Tibbett. A View To A Kill marked Lois Maxwell`s final appearance as M`s
ever-dependable secretary, Miss Moneypenny. The actress was the only cast member who had appeared in every Bond film since the first instalment, Dr. No.

Germany and India, this adventure puts James Bond on the trail of a priceless Fabergé egg after British agent 009 is found dead at the British embassy in East Berlin, dressed as a circus clown and carrying a fake Fabergé egg. It leads him to Octopussy's traveling circus, which is being used as a cover for a plot to explode an atomic bomb at a U.S airforce base in West Germany, the first step for a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.
