Among my top five Bond films from the Connery-Moore Era, and second favorite song (after Goldfinger). They poured a lot of money into this one and it shows. Moore hit his stride here although Curt Jurgens is not one of the memorable Bond villains.
It's always a pleasure to see Richard Kiel in a movie. The guy really fills the screen. I agree, killing the shark was a bit much. Unfortunately, the inclusion of the theme from Lawrence of Arabia when they are crossing the desert is a disheartening portent of the series eventual descent into self aware camp.
