    Lois Maxwell accidentally said “Penelope Smallbush”, causing Sir Rog to quip “Well, really, Miss Moneypenny! We can see where YOUR mind is!”

    Was she being considered as a replacement for Moneypenny or something?

    There was some talk of that, but as we know it didn't happen.

    Walter Gotell seems to enjoy upping his game to answer Steven Berkoff's brilliantly mannered OTT performance.

    Not sure what Berkoff was up to. Was he looking to caricature the object of Reagan era paranoia?

    This is pretty much out of the short story "Property of a Lady".

    Membership of CND was a big thing when I was an undergraduate at the time of this film's release.

    The Sothebys scene is properly Flemingesque.

    Barry's subtle Bond theme cue, as Kamal gets up to leave, flowers nicely into a short piece that it would have been good to have on the special edition OST in place of the pointless dialogue samples.
