Donald Pleasence as Blofeld

Rather peculiar: Bond, supported by a wise guy's daughter named Teresa, tracks down Blofeld in Switzerland where he runs a clinic. Under the pretense to cure allergies Blofeld hypnotizes a bunch of beauties and turns them into sleeper terrorists who will spread an infertility causing virus on his command. Thus being the lord of infertility viruses and biological warfare, threatening to extinct mankind and the worlds economies, Blofeld blackmails the United Nations. But instead of asking for millions he demands amnesty for past crimes and recognition of his noble title (count of ...). In that movie Bond even gets married, and his wife gets killed shortly after the wedding.

Solex is to be sold to the highest bidder who would have a monopoly on solar power. The sheriff from Louisiana, J.W. Pepper, appears again, is deputized and helps Bond.

A simple cold war plot, lots of impressive stunts, a fair dosage of humor.
