After the somewhat frivolous Bond of Roger Moore, a rather more po-faced
Timothy Dalton stepped into 007's shoes in "The Living Daylights". If
Moore was something of a comedown on Connery, Dalton, in attempting to
restore some of Connery's gravitas, was even more of a let-down. THE
LIVING DAYLIGHTS isn't really that bad and there are some great
set-pieces but neither its villains, (Jeroen Krabbe, Joe Don Baker), nor
its Bond girl, (a lack-lustre Maryam D'Abo), stay in the memory. Luckily Mr Dalton was soon be replaced by the altogether superior Pierce Brosnan before Daniel Craig claimed the role for his own.
