For Your Eyes Only

Bibi vs. Melina Agent 007 (Roger Moore) seeks to apprehend a lost British encryption device in order to prevent the Soviets from acquiring it as events switch from the Ionian Sea to a villa in Spain to wintery actions in Northern Italy to a Greek Island to Albania to an abandoned mountaintop monastery (Meteora, Greece).

This and the Spy Who Loved me were Roger Moore's top 2 of his own Bond films... and I can see that.

(PG)- Physical violence, gun violence, mild gore, some profanity, brief female nudity, sexual references, some adult situations.
