...countries' space capsules as they orbit the earth, spiriting them away to places unknown. Both countries accuse each other, unaware that Peking and S.P.E.C.T.R.E. are behind it all. Naturally, the only one who can help is 007, who interrupts a love scene in Hong Kong with his Chinese mistress for the tiresome task of saving the world once more. Conveniently, the assignment takes him only as far as Japan, which gives the camera crews a chance to show a travelogue of Bond orienting himself by watching sumo wrestlers, wandering the neon-bright streets of Tokyo, climbing the green slopes...

...level international conference, the motherless 14-year-old daughter of the British Foreign Secretary is kidnaped by a would-be political assassin. Her fate is in the hands of three of her elders: the chief government security officer, her father and his secretary, who is also his mistress. The latter is a disturbing woman- passive, manipulative, all things to the weaknesses of all men-seemingly a sister of the wife in Harold Pinter's The Homecoming. It is no accident that Pinter adapted Mosley's earlier novel for the movies. For both writers, ambiguity is truth itself...
