In 1959, Fleming was commissioned by The Sunday Times to write a series of articles based on world cities, material for which later was collected into a book entitled Thrilling Cities; while travelling through New York for material, Fleming wrote "007 in New York" from Bond's point of view. [23] "007 in New York" was originally titled "Reflections in a Carey Cadillac" [11] and it contains a recipe for scrambled eggs, which came from May Maxwell, [11] the housekeeper to friend Ivar Bryce, who gave her name to Bond's own housekeeper, May. [14] The story was first published in the New York Herald Tribune in October 1963 as "Agent 007 in New York", but was subsequently renamed as "007 in New York" for the 1964 US editions of Thrilling Cities. [24] Release and reception [ edit ] During a meeting of the Red Army military commissariat, Soviet General Orlov tries to rattle other members for a more aggressive policy, claiming his troops in East Germany could invade western Europe in 5 days. The moderate fraction under General Gogol opposes to this plan in part due to their fear of an nuclear retaliation as well as their preference for peaceful co-existence with the West.

Of course, I wrote in my For Your Eyes Only review that I appreciated the tongue and cheek being toned down a bit, only to be overwhelmed with goofiness with Osctopussy. There's a lot of entertainment to be had with this film, but sadly I felt a ton of opportunities were wasted.

Octopussy and The Living Daylights (sometimes published as Octopussy) is the 14th and final James Bond book written by Ian Fleming in the Bond series. The book is a collection of short stories published posthumously in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape on 23 June 1966.The Octopussy cast tales don’t stop there. Casting for Octopussy herself was a saga worthy of its own movie. Sybil Danning, heralded in Prevue magazine, was soon replaced on grounds of being “too vibrant” for producer Albert R. Broccoli’s taste. Roger Moore couldn’t believe that James Bond had to wear a gorilla costume – one of several unlikely disguises in Octopussy. “These actors never read the bloody script until the night before,” laughs Octopussy director John Glen. “Roger came in and said, ‘You can’t be serious about me dressing up in that costume, can you?’ Roger was looking at me like I was completely mad. But he went along with it.”
