For Your Eyes Only

I cannot count the number of times I've seen For Your Eyes Only. I prefer the older Bond films. There's something about the tone of them, and the graininess, but FYEO is one of the few Moore ones I enjoy - along with The Man With the Golden Gun - because who could ever turn down Christopher Lee?

Anyhow... it's been a long-standing joke that Bond girls have suggestive names - and by suggestive I mean they slap you in the face with the subtlety of a brick wrapped in brick. My favourite is from TMWTGG - Chu Mi - though I know many are fond of Pussy Galore ("I must be dreaming.")

All that said, and as many times as I've seen FYEO, it didn't sink in until the last time I watched it (which was last week) about the Countess Liesel von Schlong's name.

It only took me over 30 years to catch that one.
