When both a British and a Russian submarine disappear, Agent 007 (Roger Moore, in his third outing as Bond) is called in to investigate in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Cubby Broccoli wanted this to be the "BIGGEST Bond of All", and it certainly lived up to the billing. From the massive purpose-built 007 soundstages at Pinewood (still very much in use today) to the marketing campaign, which was the first time to feature the talents of movie poster legend Bob Peak. His colourful, detailed imagery followed an art-nouveau style in a futuristic setting and very much set the film's tone. From huge submarines to a Lotus Esprit sports car that converts to a submersible, all are on full display with this country of origin UK Quad.
