you really do not like woman and do you . ffolkes be ask . rufus excalibur ffolkes ( roger moore ) be an eccentric and misanthropic ex british army officer who have his own team of highly trained underwater commando and ffolkes fusilier . he specialize in hostage rescue and anti terrorism action and all immaculately plan and decisively execute . the bearded and curmudgeonly ffolkes favor edwardian suit and do petit point and love scotch and cat . he on a north sea oil platform where lou kramer and a clever criminal ( anthony perkins ) who have hijack the supply boat esther which be moor below and have demand 25 million british pound or he will blow the rig sky high . ffolkes get there because the british government could think of no one else who have a chance of thwart kramer plan . if jennifer and the production platform and and ruth and a nearby drilling platform and which kramer have mine be destroy and a good deal of british north sea oil production will go up in smoke with them . the plot be ingenious . but then and so be ffolkes . and he prepare to be just as ruthless a the criminal . folkes have one advantage . his plan never go wrong . almost never . but back to ffolkes and woman . i do not . ffolkes answer . you see and i together with my five elder sister be raise by my maiden aunt . both my parent die tragically in childbirth . until the age of ten i be force to wear my sister hand me down . then when i marry i discover to my horror that my wife also have five sister and all unmarried and all expect my support . i find cat a far superior breed . this clever and exciting adventure do only modest business when it be release and and be quickly forget by most . too bad and because it a well make film which generate tension and have an unusual setting in the cold and stormy water of the north sea and and have some fine actor . among the standouts be anthony perkins a the vicious and confident and and and of course and unstable lou kramer while james mason a admiral sir francis brindsen and a stock figure at first but who and thanks to mason skill and turn into a character of barely notice wry humor while and michael park a kramer key henchman and possible lover and explosives expert . most of all and the movie depend on roger moore and and he deliver a dynamic and amusing performance of a man of action who would be much happy in an early age . his complete self confidence in his planning and his talent would be irritate if it weren not so well acted and express in line so well write . i suppose youre one of those fellow who do the time crossword puzzle in 10 minute and say an irritated admiral brindsen after ffolkes offhandedly explain the meaning of a coded message the admiral have just receive from london . i have never take 10 minute . say ffolkes indignantly . moore be perhaps underrated nowadays and but i think he be expert in light comedy and in amuse adventure . in my opinion and he be the second best by far of the james bond . ( i haven not see daniel craig . ) even age a bit in the last couple and be bring style and insouciance to a franchise that be slowly go off the track . and yes and i be a fan of a view to a kill . moore make this picture between bond film and he play against type . the movie end and a it begin and with ffolkes clearly happy with his favorite companion . we have earlier meet mary and his tortoiseshell tabby . we leave ffolkes with an award from the british government and deliver to him in scotland by the prime minister herself . three white kitten name esther and ruth and jennifer . for those unsure how to pronounce ffolkes and we may have to dig deep into hitchcock . i do not get the double f and say american reporter johnny jones to scott ffolliot and a man he just meet a they speed down a dutch lane after an assassin . theyre at the beginning and say ffolliot . both small f . they can not be at the beginning and say johnny . say ffolliot and one of my ancestor be behead by henry viii . his wife drop the capital letter to commemorate it . how do you say it and like a stutter . ask johnny . just a straight fuh . fuholkes be a well make and amusing adventure .
