Review

The Living Daylights features Timothy Dalton as a Bond who doesn't have fun. Not only doesn't he joke, but also he is nearly celibate. Maryam d'Abo plays a soviet cello player who is one of a harem belonging to a high ranking, but self serving Russian General. When British agents start dying, General Koskov feigns defection, and claims that the head of the KGB is out to kill all British agents. The defection and claim is really a plot to get Bond to kill the head of the KGB. This is necessary, as the KGB is near catching on to an arms/diamond/dope deal meant to enrich Koskov and arms dealer Brad Whitaker (played by Fun House legend, Joe Don Baker!).

Most agree this is one of the weakest Bond films, and I concur. On the other hand, Australian actress Virginia Hey actually exposes her breasts as the girlfriend of the head of the KGB. d'Abo either had no role to work with, or wasn't up to the challenge. She also wore far too many clothes.
