Dies und das:

This was Lois Maxwell's final appearance as Miss Moneypenny. Apparently, after she was told that she would be retiring from the role, she thought that she could become the M character as a promotion. However, at the time producer Albert R. Broccoli believed that audiences would not accept James Bond being given orders by woman. Prophetically, the M character would become a lady a decade later when Judi Dench rook on the role in GoldenEye (1995).

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: The recorded conversation between Max Zorin and Bob Conley in the dock warehouse does not match the actual conversation.

Dialogzitate:

[first lines]
Kimberley Jones: I thought you'd never get back.
James Bond: Well, there was a heck of a crowd on the piste!

Under-rated Bond entry.

A View To A Kill seems to get more than its fair share of criticism. Often it is labelled the weakest of the Bond entries, but
