When a space shuttle goes missing during a test flight, James Bond (Roger Moore) is the man who must track it down. His investigations take him to Venice (where he uses his specially customized gondola), Rio de Janeiro (where he fights steel-toothed henchman Jaws on top of a cable car), and finally into outer space (where he uncovers a ruthless plot to wipe out the human race and replace it with genetically engineered humanoids). Highlights include Bond's encounters with NASA scientist Dr Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) and the climactic battle aboard villain Hugo Drax's (Michael Lonsdale) space station.

Thriller written and directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet. Alice (Anicée Alvina) and Nora (Olga Georges-Picot) experiment with bondage and creating human art together using various substances. But Alice becomes the chief suspect in a murder investigation when their flat is broken into and Nora is seemingly killed by the intruder with a pair of scissors while she is tied to the bed. Once questioned by the police, a judge and a priest, Alice is sent to a convent prison and interrogated on suspicion of being a witch. The judges may just be proved right as those inside the walls of the convent also begin to fall under the spell of Alice's charms.
