DVD is definitely the best way to see The Spy Who Loved Me. Widescreen will help best establish the scope of Ken Adam`s sets and Derek Medding`s models of the Liparus. Details often cropped out in pan & scan versions that were broadcast on ABC and TBS will be a real eye opener for the viewer new to DVD. The documentaries are top notch, and a lot of time is given to Rick Sylvester`s amazing jump off the Asgaard Peak.

The audio track includes commentary by Michael Wilson, Lewis Gilbert, Ken Adam and Christopher Wood. The lack of star power on the commentary is a drawback though, as it leaves too much time for Ken Adam and Lewis Gilbert to ramble on and interrupt one another. Barbara Bach or Richared Kiel would have been a welcome relief.

One of Roger Moore`s best Bond films is also one of the best special editions to hit DVD.
