Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re listening to the next James Bond film, A View To A Kill!
Roger Moore’s final outing as Bond probably should have happened a few years earlier than 1985, as the action and romance scenes fall a bit short. Fortunately, the humor and heart are still intact, and the film benefits from Grace Jones and Christopher Walken in leading roles.
Also, fortunately, this film features one of John Barry’s finest Bond soundtracks. The theme song written by Barry and performed by Duran Duran was the first Bond tune to hit #1 on the Billboard charts and highest ranking in the UK until 2015.
Barry works the main theme and three other recurring themes back into the score several times over, which help the viewer tie together plot points in the overly complicated story.
