Javi TrujilloHOST
We're happy to have you back, Owen.
Javi TrujilloHOST
And it's kind of fitting because here we're discussing the 45th anniversary of For Your Eyes Only, which is the fifth assignment for Sir Roger Moore, but by no means his final.
Javi TrujilloHOST
And it's fitting because you were here for License to Kill, which was the last John Glenn film.
Javi TrujilloHOST
This is his first.
Javi TrujilloHOST
Yeah.
Javi TrujilloHOST
Yeah.
Javi TrujilloHOST
So for your eyes only to give us some context opened in wide release in the U S on June 26, 1981, following its UK premiere on the 24th in London.
Javi TrujilloHOST
Uh, and just to make my co-hosts feel old, I had turned four the day before the UK premiere.

Melody OrtizHOST
from The Spy Who Loved Me, Sheena Eason's For Your Eyes Only, Love It, and Duran Duran's A View to a Kill.
Melody OrtizHOST
Decades later, the song remains a massive force in pop culture.
Melody OrtizHOST
Guns N' Roses actually famously covered it in 1991.
DanHOST
Yeah.
TomHOST
And don't forget that 21 years earlier, Roger Moore's James Bond did something very similar in For Your Eyes Only when he drove that Citroën down the stairs, supposedly in Spain, but it was filmed in Corfu.
TomHOST
But it's the same type of thing.
TomHOST
You're taking this small little car and going downstairs with it.
Tom GrantHOST
He's in a bunch of stuff.
Tom GrantHOST
He's in For Your Eyes Only.
Tom GrantHOST
He also has one of the most memorable on-screen deaths ever.

any, any movie like this.
Rupert DegasGUEST
And he used to do a Christmas special every year and he did Harold Wilson and Dennis Healy and he had...
Rupert DegasGUEST
June Brown on as Margaret Thatcher, who played her in For Your Eyes Only, the Bond film in 81.
Rupert DegasGUEST
So I was looking at, I was doing impressions.
Rupert DegasGUEST
And some of my first impressions as a boy before my voice broke was Margaret Thatcher and Dame Edna Everidge.
Matthew BradfordGUEST
You know, it sort of reminds me of the Bond series with Live and Let Die, where when they made the movie, they basically did their own story, as they did with many of them, and left out a lot of Fleming elements.
Matthew BradfordGUEST
But then over the years, they really picked that carcass clean and used every little bit of Live and Let Die that was left out in For Your Eyes Only.
Matthew BradfordGUEST
They used the keel hauling.
Matthew BradfordGUEST
In License to Kill, they use the fish warehouse fight and some other stuff.
ElmaHOST
The music was done by Bill Conti, who's also a Bond music scorer.
ElmaHOST
So he did For Your Eyes Only, a Roger Moore one from the 80s.
ElmaHOST
And the costumes are by Kate Harrington.
ElmaHOST
And this was her debut costume designer job.
