	Octopussy and The Living Daylights - Definition, explanation
		Octopussy and the Living Daylights is a collection of James Bond short stories, by Ian Fleming, published posthumously in the United Kingdom and the United States by Glidrose Productions, in 1966, as a postscript to his James Bond canon.
		"Octopussy" provided the title of the eponymous 1983 film, and the background for the movie character Octopussy, the daughter of the villain in the short story; the film also used most of the plot of "Property of a Lady".
		In 1987, "The Living Daylights" was closely adapted for part of Timothy Dalton's eponymous first James Bond film of the same title.

		The Living Daylights is the final Bond film to be scored by composer John Barry.
		The Living Daylights is the first Bond film since Moonraker to not have its title announced in the end credits of the previous film, nor has any Bond film since had its title announced in the end credits of the previous film.
		The filming took on its own action movie, when the boat at the bottom of the cliffs positioned to film the descent got into difficulty in a heavy swell, and the local Eastbourne lifeboats were launched to pull the crew off the cliffs, resulting in bravery awards for some members.

		The Living Daylights: (John Barry) The original LP release of this score was short, and left Bond enthusiasts with little to cheer about.
		The Living Daylights is to date John Barry's last Bond score, however it is one of his best.
		If you have difficulty getting it to function, don't bust up your machine (or blow it away with a shot gun six times, as a man did in Virginia last month --he was arrested for disturbing the peace and reckless endangerment).

		I think the best of the stories in OCTOPUSSY is "The Living Daylights." James is ordered to kill a top KGB sniper when he is sent to Berlin before the sniper can eliminate a British spy coming in from the cold.
		He lived to see the first few movies made, was hopelessly smitten with the young Ursula Andress, and fortunately did not live to see the excesses of his sucessors.
		Octopussy and the Living Daylights is a terrific collection of stories that show some of James Bond's smaller, more ordinary assignments.

		'the Living Daylights' is, in my opinion, a terrifically taught study in cold war espionage.
		The sheer electricity that runs through the story is indescribable, an interesting combination of the dull, annonymous world of spying crosswired with large ammounts of tension.
		'Octopussy' is one of Fleming's last stories that he ever wrote, and concerns a hoard of Nazi gold nessled in the grasp of a dying major.

	Octopussy & The Living Daylights; Reviews & Ratings - CBn Forums
		Octopussy is a decent short story, and even 007 In New York, for what it's worth, isn't that bad.
		Whereas in Octopussy, Bond was looking in on the action, The Living Daylights focuses on Bond directly in the action.
		Octopussy and The Property of a Lady were entertaining if nothing special, 007 in New York was fun but a mere trifle, and The living Daylights was simply fantastic.

	Ian Fleming Octopussy and The Living Daylights UK First Edition Book
		The book is in fact 2 short stories both of which were later adapted for films.
		Octopussy is often the natural starting point for Fleming collectors and its availability is such that only a nice clean copy should be bought.
		Condition is everything in this field and whilst ambitions may need to be lowered for the early titles only nice copies of late titles should be considered by anyone building a serious collection.

		YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, the last book he sent off to be published before his death, was part Japanese travelogue and part death lit about a culture mired in hara-kari and kamikaze.
		What struck me about the story was that it appeared Fleming was describing himself as the older man (the boredom, the health issues) and that the crime that's come to light all these years later took place in a location Fleming dearly loved as a young man.
		Bond's jovial flirting with the Japanese geisha girls in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE a chapter or two after M is discussing his state of mind after the murder of his wife was a little jarring.

		The Living Daylights was the first film to have a different song to the main theme on the end titles.
		The Living Daylights is an improvement in Domark's lineage of movie tie-in games in the sense of robust and reliable gameplay, however it comes at the expense of interesting action and originality with the sideway scrolling format.

		"Octopussy" is a good story, but, since it is lacking James Bond for most of it, it doesn't have the pace of the others.
		"The Living Daylights" is by far the best, with a suspenseful climax and interesting descriptions of drab Berlin.
		Octopussy is a very good short story collection, though "For Your Eyes Only" was better, if you ask me. As Fleming proved in "FYEO", he can make a good story with little help from 007.

	The Living Daylights (1987)
		Although I slightly prefer the even-grittier Licence to Kill, The Living Daylights is almost as solid and exciting a movie; it's a thoroughly terrific little piece.
		However, old Tim needed to lighten up a little, and he has trouble with the more suave aspects of the role; his Bond comes across a too much of a thug at times.
		The Living Daylights is a "must have" for Bond fans and should be given definite consideration from any fans of action fare.

		No, this is not a reference to the 1967 star-studded “Casino Royale,” which kept a few elements of Fleming’s story but was mostly a spoof that probably made Mel Brooks envious.
		This version (once believed lost but rediscovered on an old kinescope of the show) is a far cry from the multimillion-dollar special-effects-laden movies that started in 1963.
		It had basically three sets, was in fl and white, and some actors in the live show muffed their lines.

	Octopussy - John Barry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Since Octopussy would be hard to make rhyme and scan during a song, Barry and lyricist Tim Rice settled on All Time High which is third in an informal trio of ego boosting ballads that began with Nobody Does it Better from The Spy Who Loved Me and continued with For Your Eyes Only.
		As usual, Barry puts the song to good use as a sultry love theme, notably in That's My Little Octopussy and Bond Meets Octopussy although the use is not as pervasive as in previous efforts.
		Perhaps the only disappointment of releasing Octopussy is that its relative newness already ensures good sound quality; almost all of Barry's earlier efforts deserve the same deluxe re-release treatment to improve the sound.

		The film of "Live and Let Die," for example, left a lot of material out, but much of it was later used in the film "Licence To Kill."
		A lot of Fleming enthusiasts call the first half hour of the film to be the most faithful, in spirit, of any of the adaptations.
		The film of "Live and Let Die," for example, left a lot of material out, but much of it was later used in the film "Licence To Kill." > > For "A Living Daylights," you're in luck.
