Barry’s love theme variation of Armstrong’s song ‘We have all the time in the world’, however, is easily the best romantic
theme of the series, featuring beautiful strings and Barry’s first consistent use of the flute.
About the film:
The most emotional adventure of his career begins for James Bond on a deserted
beach where a young woman tries to drown herself. He rescues the girl and for his trouble is attacked by two toughs – the girl’s bodyguards. It soon becomes
much bigger for 007 – the girl is Teresa Draco, daughter of crime boss Marc Ange Draco, who wants James to marry his wayward daughter, and in return he can
provide 007 with information on an even more dangerous criminal leader – Ernst Stavro Bloefeld of SPECTRE. But both James and Teresa find more than they ever bargained for when their paths collide in a vicious pursuit in the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland, an enormous avalanche, and a smuggling ring for germ warfare against the West by Blofeld, who proves most difficult to kill and who exacts a revenge that James can never forget – or forgive.

About the film:
George Lazenby’s sole appearance as James Bond features some of the most exciting sequences in the entire series. Bond is on the trail, once again, of SPECTRE’s leader Blofeld. Blofeld’s alpine headquarters is the setting of fantastic action and, ironically, where Bond is tempted by more lovely women than in any other Bond film.
With “You Only Live Twice,” John Barry
takes his music in a more romantic direction. The sweeping title song, sung by Nancy Sinatra, is arranged into a beautiful orchestral piece used throughout the film.
About the film:
When an American space capsule is swallowed up by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship, World War 3 nearly breaks out. The British Government, however,
suspect that other powers are at work as the space craft went down near Japan. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the force behind the theft, as James Bond discovers, but its
motives are far from clear, and he must first find out where the captured space capsule is held before America and Russia initiate another world war.
