Well, to make a long story short, I started to get sick. I couldn't eat, and I lost 30 pounds, and eventually I looked like what I was, which was sexless. I couldn't sleep either, and I'd obliterate those ungodliest of hours with mindless roaming around the city. I guess that I was unconsciously looking for rape. I wasn't even any good at that...
...answers lie in the fact that the so-called entertainment is never really entertaining. A couple of solid citizens, Yaphet Kotto and Geoffrey Holder, are underemployed as an island dictator cum pusher and his witchdoctor hireling while Jane Seymour, Gloria Hendry and Madeline Smith are comely enough but curiously sexless sex objects. They, like Moore, suffer a sort of weightlessness, a lack of humanness, which is what Sean Connery as 007 lent previous Bond adventures. The raunchy adolescent humor that helped audiences giggle past the ugly inhuman stuff in previous Bond films like Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever is rare...

Montgomery creates a sexual triangle among the coarse Rogochin, the passionate, misused and vengeful Natasha, and the sexless Myshkin, undercutting any examination of either problems, and throwing the focus on the Prince's inability to get it up rather than his inability to assert his gentle values in a morally chaotic atmosphere. He also doubts the ability of anyone conscious of existential loneliness to hold a consistent moral...
