The movie was produced by Albert R Broccoli & is the tenth in the EON Productions Bond movie series. The Spy Who Loved Me is the tenth official James Bond movie & the third to star Roger Moore as Bond. Fleming was never happy with the plot of the book & so only gave permission for the title to be used. Consequently the film tells a very different story & was subsequently novelised by Christopher Wood. As such, it is considered the first wholly original Bond film. The Spy Who Loved Me book is a clear departure from the previous Bond books of Ian Fleming, in that Bond is not the central character. Instead the central character & narrator is Vivienne Michel, a young British woman who has ended up running a cheap motel in the Adirondack Mountains to pay for a trip through America. The first section of the novel deals with her sheltered yet unhappy past; the second with the danger she encounters in the motel & the third with her rescue by a mysterious stranger.
