THE SPY WHO LOVED ME was the first new James Bond movie I saw in the cinema. I was a teenager in the 70s. After watching the movie, I was hooked on Bond. Fortunately I had the opportunity to see all the older Bond movies in repertoire cinemas in the 70s. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME was an expensive looking movie. The locations, the sets, the car, the action, the music, the fantastic Major Anya Amasova ... all the Bond elements are at work. The result was pretty mind-blowing for the 1970s. Of all the fantastic Ken Adam set designs, the spider-like villain's lair was the most jaw dropping. I must paint it! (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
