A duel between titans

The 1974 James Bond movie, directed by Guy Hamilton, starring Roger Moore as the agent 007, Britt Ekland as the Bond girl Goodnight, Bernard Lee as Bond's superior, Desmond Llewelyn as 'Q' (the head of Q division), Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny (MI6 secretary) and Christopher Lee as Saramanga, the main antagonist. Title song performed by Lulu. James Bond is called to investigate a stolen "Solex agitator". Plenty of talent and charisma in the acting of both Roger Moore and Christopher Lee, too bad that it's one of the worst Bond movies. Lost in a plot, an attempt to make almost a comedy. Humour most often is fixed in time, and it's terribly outdated here.
