Countess Lisl von Schlaf

Countess Lisl von Schlaf is a fictional character from the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, portrayed by Cassandra Harris, coincidentally the late wife of later Bond star Pierce Brosnan.

The Countess is the mistress of Milos Columbo. At the casino, Lisl "dumps" Columbo, giving Bond an opportunity to meet her. The Contessa invites Bond to share champagne and oysters with her. Later on a beach, Aristotle Kristatos's henchman Emile Locque mows Lisl down with a beach buggy. James screams her name out but Lisl is dead. Bond avenges Lisl by pushing Locque and his car off a jagged cliff into the sharp rocks below. Columbo seemed not to care too much about Lisl when he learned of her death, although he described her saying, "I would laugh if my heart were not so heavy about my poor Lisl."

Milos Columbo is a fictional character from the James Bond series, first appearing as Enrico Colombo in the 1960 short story "Risico" and then in the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only.

He was portrayed by Chaim Topol.

Short story biography

In the short story, Bond is sent to Italy to break up a drug-smuggling operation. While there his contact is Aristotle Kristatos, who occasionally works with the CIA. Kristatos informs Bond that the man behind the operation is Enrico Colombo, however, after being captured and taken aboard Colombo's ship, the Colombina, Bond is told by Colombo that Kristatos is actually a double working for the Russians and the man behind the drug smuggling operation. Colombo proves this to Bond by taking him on a raid of Kristatos' warehouse where they catch Kristatos and his men loading a shipment of drugs.

Film biography

In the film, Milos Columbo is a Greek smuggler who was set up by Kristatos as the man in charge of Emile Locque, both to remove a larger rival and because he knew too much about Kristatos' KGB connections and the fact that Kristatos had been an agent for Germany in WWII. Columbo captures and persuades Bond that Kristatos is actually giving Locque orders, and invites Bond on a raid of one of Kristatos' factories where they find Locque.

Columbo is first seen when Kristatos points towards him for Bond to see. He leaves Countess Lisl von Schlaf for a moment to listen to his secret tape of a conversation between Kristatos and Bond. After Lisl is killed, James meets Columbo. Columbo tells Bond the whole background and that Aris Kristatos is the real enemy and admits he smuggles gold, diamonds, cigarettes and pistachio nuts (the later of which he has a personal taste for and is often seen eating) but not heroin. Later he helps James and Melina get up to St. Cyril's Monastery, Greece. Columbo later chases Kristatos in an aggressive yet brief scuffle, causing Kristatos to lose his footwork and drop the ATAC. When Melina is about to kill Kristatos, Bond pleads not, referring to Chinese proverbs. Kristatos pulls out a switchblade knife and tries to kill Bond, but Columbo impales him in the back with a knife, ending a personal vendetta. He then becomes the new sponsor for Bibi Dahl, with no sign of protest from her or her coach Jakoba Brink.

Prime Minister

Prime Minister
Character from the James Bond franchise
Affiliation Her Majesty's Government
Portrayed by Janet Brown

Prime Minister is a fictional character based on the real life British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, played by actress Janet Brown.

She is first mentioned by Frederick Grey as Bond's mission to interrogate Hector Gonzales wound up with Gonzales being killed by Melina Havelock ("I'm afraid we have to inform the Prime Minister that Operation Undertow is dead in the water. Why... she'll have our guts for garters!"). Then after Bond's mission to rescue the ATAC is finished, the Prime Minister calls MI6 looking for Bond — and 007 receives the call on his Seiko watch phone, but gives it to Melina's parrot, Max as he goes skinny dipping with Melina. In the following dialogue, the Minister thanks Bond and tells that "Denis and I look forward to meeting you", and asks "if there is anything I can do for you". Max replies "Give us a kiss", causing the Prime Minister to get stunned and say "Well, really, Mr. Bond" — and MI6 to finish the call.
