| | DVD review of Living Daylights, The - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | The setting is toward the end of the Cold War, and the defector is General Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbe), who has asked specifically that Bond be assigned to protect him against possible Russian retaliation during his escape attempt. |
 | | Desmond Llewelyn is on hand, of course, as "Q," and Robert Brown plays "M." The film also features, as always, a new actor, John Terry, in the part of Felix Leiter, the CIA agent; and it broke in a new actress, Caroline Bliss, as Miss Moneypenny. |
 | | Neither Koskov nor Whitaker is truly wicked in the Goldfinger or Dr. No mold; their characterizations were toned down to conform to the new, more serious Bond-movie image. |
