France TV - Bond film double-header on Sunday night

Film: "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997)
Channel: France 2 (France)
Date: Sunday 22nd March 2009
Time: 20:35 CET

For the first hour or so, this 18th Bond movie is up there with the best of them: it has terrific pace, Pierce Brosnan has romantic and rough-house appeal, and the post-Cold War story has grip and plausibility. However the momentum slows in the second half, where the drawn-out action takes over from the story.

Film: "For Your Eyes Only" (1981)
Channel: France 2 (France)
Date: Sunday 22nd March 2009
Time: 22:40 CET

British agent James Bond is dispatched to recover a strategic communications device before it finds its way into the hands of the Russians. When the secret device that controls Britain`s Polaris submarines goes missing after the spy ship carrying it sinks, 007 joins forces with a vengeful woman and a wealthy hero of the Greek resistance movement to find the equipment.

Thanks to `gerard` for the alert.
