For a list of participating theaters, go HERE (the only St. Louis AMC Theater participating is The AMC Chesterfield 14)
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977)
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME sports a labyrinthine story involving outer-space extortion. The leading lady is sexy Russian secret agent Barbara Bach, who joins forces with Bond to foil yet another megalomaniacal villain, who plans to threaten New York City with nuclear weaponry. Curt Jurgens stars as Stromberg, Richard Kiel costars as ‘Jaws’, and other Bond lovelies include Caroline Munro and Valerie Leon.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981)
Roger Moore was back as Secret Agent 007 in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, this time on the trail of shipwreck that holds an Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC) for all of the British Naval submarine fleet. Along the way he teams up with the beautiful Melina, played by Carole Bouquet, a maiden out for revenge against a Cuban hitman who killed her father, the head of a British effort to salvage the ATAC. Turns out the hitman was in league with Greek businessman Aris Kristatos (Julian Glover). who’s working for the Soviets to attain the Communicator. Together with a drug smuggling rival of Kristatos (played by Topol), Bond and Melina race against time before the keys to all of Britain’s missiles get in the wrong hands. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY eschewed the gimmickry and campiness of earlier Roger Moore efforts by concentrating instead on intrigue, save for the over-the-top opening that sees Bond dispatch the dastardly Blofeld in a broad comedic pre-credits scene.
Don’t miss your chance to see a pair of Roger Moore 007 classics on the big screen!
