Synopsis!
"For Your Eyes Only" (1981) is the twelfth spy film in the James Bond series, and the fifth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond.
The screenplay takes its characters from and combines the plots of two short stories from Ian Fleming's collection For Your Eyes Only; the title story and "Risico". It also includes elements inspired by the novels Live and Let Die (the keelhauling sequence), Goldfinger (the identigraph sequence) and On Her Majesty's Secret Service (the opening at the graveyard).
In the film, Bond and Melina Havelock become tangled in a web of deception spun by rival Greek businessmen against the backdrop of Cold War spy games. Bond is after a missile command system known as the ATAC (a MacGuffin introduced to tie together the original stories' plots), whilst Melina is out to avenge the murder of her parents. As well as seeing a conscious return to the style of the early Bond films and the works of 007 creator Fleming, and therefore a more gritty, realistic approach (following the science-fiction Bond film Moonraker), the film is perhaps unusual for the Bond series in having a strong narrative theme: revenge and its personal consequences. FYEO was also the first James Bond film to be directed by Bond editor/second unit director John Glen (the film also marks his feature film directorial debut), who would then direct the following four Bond films over a span of eight years (he directed every Bond movie that was released in the 1980s).
The film was released on 24 June 1981; despite its mixed critical reception, the film was a monetary success, generating $195.3 million worldwide, which helped save United Artists from bankruptcy after their 1980 box-office disaster Heaven's Gate by Michael Cimino. For Your Eyes Only was the last James Bond movie to be distributed solely by United Artists; they merged with MGM soon after and began focusing on blockbusters rather than personal films.
About Song!
"For Your Eyes Only" was sung by Sheena Easton, who holds the distinction of being the first title song artist to appear on screen in a Bond film. The producers of the film wanted Blondie to perform the title song, written by Bill Conti and Michael Leeson. Blondie declined, so a different song with the same title was recorded by Sheena Easton instead. Blondie's version of "For Your Eyes Only", can be found on their 1982 album "The Hunter". The song was later nominated for both an Academy Award and Golden Globe in 1982.
Sheena Easton also made Bond film history as the first (and, to date, only) artist to perform the theme song on-screen during the opening title sequence.
.....Lyrics.....
For your eyes only, can see me through the night.
For your eyes only, I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new.
I never felt until I looked at you.
For your eyes only, only for you.
You'll see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you.
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold.
You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine,
But you won't need to read between the lines.
For your eyes only, only for you.
You see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me.
Only for you, for your eyes only.....End Less
