Caroline Munro Filmography

Night Owl

Maigret

Actors: Richard Harris, Victoria Tennant, Patrick O'Neal

Synopsis: Richard Harris is not who we've always envisioned as George Simenon's workaday French police Inspector Maigret (especially with that Irish brogue!) but one tends to overlook this odd bit of casting as the story rolls on. The usually businesslike Maigret has trouble maintaining his objectivity when Read More

The Spy Who Loved Me

Actors: Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curd Jürgens, Richard Kiel, Caroline Munro

Synopsis: Though not Ian Fleming's most famous James Bond novel, 1962's The Spy Who Loved Me was distinguished by the unique device of telling the story from the heroine's point of view; in fact, Bond doesn't make an appearance until the book is two-thirds over. This would hardly work in the film world's Bond Read More

Actors: Horst Janson, Shane Briant, Caroline Munro, John Cater
