Cracking the Code of Spy Movies!
TV & Film:Film Interviews
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, the movie, was not the story from Ian Fleming’s short story with the same title. In this episode, Dan and Tom decode the movie to see how the story came to be.
Some of the characters from the movie, and some of the plot points were adapted from Ian Fleming’s 1960 short stories “For Your Eyes Only” and “Risico”. Plus, the locations of the 2 stories and the movie are all different. People’s names have changed. The reason that people have wanted revenge has changed. The MacGuffin has changed.
Yet, even with all of that, the movie, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY turned into one of Roger Moore’s best movies playing James Bond.
And the 1968 movie ICE STATION ZEBRA definitely influenced the final version of the movie FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. Dan and Tom lay it out in this episode!
So, take a listen.
We assume you’ve seen the movie FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. Have you read Fleming’s short stories “For Your Eyes Only” and “Risico”? If so, did Dan and Tom miss anything?
