Behind the 50 Year Evolution of the James Bond Franchise

7. The Spy Who Loved Me

Production of Roger Moore’s third Bond film, the tenth Bond movie, slowed due to the changes at Eon Productions, but they still finished it. In the story, Bond tries to stop the villain, Karl Stromberg, from destroying the world and starting his own underwater civilization. Barbara Bach played Anya Amasova, the Russian spy with whom Bond teams up to stop Stromberg. The film was the first not to feature Ian Fleming’s name, a matter of intellectual property rights. Reportedly, Fleming had never liked the plot, so he only granted rights to the title. The final novel for the story came out after the movie, a first for Bond.
