Love the concept, Popeye Doyle . The Spook who Loved Me
After an impressive Maurice Binder title sequence and a theme song belted out by Shirley Bassey, M (Bernard Lee) abruptly calls secret agent James Bond (Roger Moore) to his office and informs him that Ceaușescu’s secret police, the Securitate, have given the Kremlin a secret weapon by which they will win the Cold War. Unknown to both M and Bond, said secret weapon is (apparently) a person, in reality in the employ not of Moscow but rather of SPECTRE, led by Blofeld’s successor, Karl Stromberg (Curd Jürgens). SPECTRE plan to set the western and eastern blocs against each other, triggering World War III (and, somehow, letting them take over the world). Even SPECTRE do not know, however, that agent Asa Vajda (Barbara Steele) is a vampire, who had had a mask hammered into her face in 1630 but who has recently returned to undead “life.” Bond rushes to Romania, in disguise as Dr. André Goroboc, and meets Agent Vajda. She hypnotizes him, and he returns to England with her, where she bites M and plunges the country into chaos. Can Bond, aided by the beautiful Soviet agent Katia Amasova (Barbara Bach), stop Vaida before she takes her revenge on mankind? And what of SPECTRE, who eventually ally with both Britain and Russia against Vajda? Can Bond and Amasova possibly trust SPECTRE agent Igor Javuto (Richard Kiel)?
