The Spy Who Loved Me

EVENING DRESS WORN BY BARBARA BACH

Picture
Picture
Picture
Soviet KGB Major Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) wears this navy silk evening dress while meeting Bond (Roger Moore) in an unforgettable entrance scene at Cairo's Mujaba Club in Egypt, and when she and Bond are confronted by Jaws (Richard Kiel) at The Great Hall of Columns, Karnak.  London society dressmaker Baroness Franka Stael Von Holstein - whose clients included Ava Gardner and the Princess Royal - was appointed to conceive Barbara Bach's wardrobe for the movie, including this stunning dress.  Costume designer Ronald Patterson added Swarovski elements to the neckline and straps.  This screen-worn dress was obtained directly from Eon Productions Limited.

"JAWS" TEETH FROM FACTORY ENTERTAINMENT
Picture
One of the best received prop replicas from Factory Entertainment, the reproduction of the metal teeth worn by "Jaws" (actor Richard Kiel) is not specific to either of the two films in which the character appeared.  The plaque which comes with the prop is signed 'Richard Kiel "Jaws"', and mine is numbered 140 of 715.

Picture
In the pre-titles sequence, Bond and the Log Cabin Girl (actress Sue Vanner) are interrupted when he receives a ticker message from M.  Pictured above is the Seiko Model 0674-LC, the same model of Seiko watch as appeared on-screen, along with a replica of the ticker message.

Look closely at this screenshot and
you can see the BOAC bag
​carried by 'Q' (Desmond Llewelyn).
This vintage travel bag from BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) is identical to the one carried by Major Boothroyd ("Q") when he was in Sardinia delivering the Lotus Esprit S1 to James Bond and Anya Amasova (actress Barbara Bach).  BOAC eventually became the current British Airways.  My bag is in very good condition, showing very little wear and only a slight bit of dirt and fading.
