Director: Lewis Gilbert
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Agent 007 travels to Japan, where he fakes his own death, gets married (?!), and thwarts a plan by cat-loving SPECTRE mastermind Blofeld (Pleasence) to use hijacked US and Soviet space capsules to blackmail the world super-powers. Roald Dahl's implausible script is padded out with the usual exotic locations, stunts, and trickery. Connery left the series after this one, but was lured back for Diamonds Are Forever four years later.Author: NF
