On Her Majesty's Secret Service
When Bond's usual intelligence sources fail, he enlists the aid of crime boss Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti) to track down Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), head of the evil SPECTRE organization. The trail leads to the mountains of Switzerland, where Bond goes undercover in Blofeld's hi-tech headquarters. He encounters a bevy of seductive women, but none more beautiful than Draco's daughter, Tracy (Diana Rigg), who wins 007 over with her fervent independence, caustic wit and love of adventure. Bond pledges his eternal devotion to her, but there are more immediate concerns: Blofeld is poised to unleash horrific germ warfare weaponry that will endanger every living thing on earth. In developing the romance of Bond and Tracy, On Her Majesty's Secret Service builds to the most emotionally charged finale of any film in the series.

The Spy Who Loved Me
When a massive underwater craft abducts U.S. and Russian submarines, global tensions are heightened to the brink of war. In order to find the true culprit, James Bond joins forces with beautiful Russian agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach). Together they follow a trail that leads to Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens), a powerful shipping magnate who is implementing a horrific scheme for world domination. Bond struggles to foil the plot, but Stromberg has provided him with a most lethal adversary: Jaws (Richard Kiel), a seemingly indestructible steel-toothed giant. Agent 007's adventure starts with a mountaintop ski chase that builds to one of the most amazing stunts ever filmed, then takes him to the Egyptian pyramids and under the sea. The magnificent, thrill-packed finale in Stomberg's secret submarine base required the construction of the world's largest soundstage at Pinewood Studios.
