With Grace Jones and the Duran Duran "title song" (which doesn't mention the movie's title), the '80sness of this makes it more palatable than some James Bond movies, but not enough.  John Glen directed.

At this point, regular readers of this blog (if there are any) must wonder why I continue to try different James Bond movies.  Well, I feel like that each entry in the series has something unique.  In this case, it's director John Glen's Hal-Needham-like slapstick approach, which I didn't notice in For Your Eyes Only or The Living Daylights, both also from the '80s.

Rather forgettable.  This is based on the Ian Fleming short story.  John Glen (with that spelling) directed.

Well, this has one of the best Bond title songs, by Sheena Easton (although the rejected Blondie song is good, too).  John Glen directed.
