James Bond 007 | EVERY MONEYPENNY SCENE

- James Bond always has time to flirt with M's secretary, Miss Moneypenny, even before the most urgent of missions. Here's (almost) every scene Moneypenny appears in from 1962 to 2015.
[NOTE: Due to copyright issues, Moneypenny's appearances in 'Skyfall' and 'Spectre' are trimmed down.]

Miss Moneypenny, later assigned the first names of Eve or Jane, is a fictional character in the James Bond novels and films. She is secretary to M, who is Bond's superior officer and head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).
Although she has a small part in most of the films, it is always highlighted by the underscored romantic tension between her and Bond (something that is virtually non-existent in Ian Fleming's novels, although it is somewhat more apparent in the Bond novels by John Gardner and Raymond Benson). On that note, she is not always considered to be a Bond girl, having never had anything more than a professional relationship with Bond.
Although not given a first name by Fleming, the character was given the name Jane in the spin-off book series, The Moneypenny Diaries; in the films, she received the first name of Eve in Skyfall (2012), which is set in the new continuity opened by 2006's Casino Royale, where the character spent time as a field officer before becoming secretary to M. According to the film You Only Live Twice (1967), she holds the rank of second officer in the Women's Royal Naval Service.
In most of the Bond films, there is a scene, usually Bond's arrival at M's office, in which Bond and Moneypenny exchange witty, flirtatious conversation. ("Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying.") In the earlier films, these exchanges are more sexually charged, with Bond often kissing or caressing Moneypenny sensually. In Die Another Day (2002), she puts on Q's (John Cleese) virtual reality glasses and runs a simulation in which she and Bond finally consummate their relationship. Q interrupts her, and she pretends she was using it as a combat simulation.
In the original film version of Casino Royale, actress Barbara Bouchet plays M's current secretary and explains to Sir James Bond (played by David Niven) upon their first meeting that she is actually Miss Moneypenny's daughter. She is referred to thereafter, and in the closing credits, as Moneypenny.
After Lois Maxwell's death, Roger Moore recalled that she would have liked to have become the new M after Moore's retirement. She had suggested herself for the role of M but had been turned down. "I think it was a great disappointment to her that she had not been promoted to play M. She would have been a wonderful M."
I became friends with Lois in the early 80's while she was living in Toronto and at that time was a columnist for the Toronto Sun newspaper. I used to meet her once a month for lunch, and I have to say she had a wonderful personality. She was great company and we always found something to laugh about. Sadly I lost touch with Lois by the end of that decade as I was spending a lot of time working in Europe. But I have great memories of Lois, she had a sweet soul and a very kind hearted nature. R.I.P. dear Lois. ❤
Sean Connery and Lois Maxwell's chemistry was just phenomenal
Yeah but I didn't really like the chemistry between Moore and Maxwell, I thought both of them were too friendly together and I think that's because the 2 actors were good friends in real life.
@@thesecondloneranger4458 you're so right
Underrated comment
I like Roger Moore and Lois Maxwell.
@@guymorris6596 Maybe we oughta tone it down there a bit
Lois outlasted three Bonds and two M’s over 25 years. Undoubtedly as essential to the franchise as anyone.
Lois Maxwell proved that female characters _in fact can_ have a feminine sweetness about them while also being strong and assertive at the same time.
There was never any doubt about that, until a bunch of dissatisfied ugly female reprobates called ‘feminists’ somehow convinced the world otherwise . . . 🤷♂️
Waaaaah
And she always had perfect hair for each movie.
By far the best Moneypenny, no offense to Miss Bond.
Smart & sexy.
Moneypenny, Q and M are so iconic that you forget they only had about 35 minutes of screen time each in 60 years of movies.
7:19 Lazenby has the best hat throw of all the Bonds.
He's so confident that he doesn't even look to check that it lands on the hatstand.
Lois Maxwell and Sean Connery's chemistry is amazing. Better than other bond girls in Connery's era
Lois maxwell was very pretty woman in the 1960s
Absolutely seconding this comment!
You can tell that in their first scene together
She was actual friends with Roger Moore, so that has spark too.
My own head cannon that James does love Money penny but is too afraid to ruin one of the only constants in his life.
So he keeps her at arms reach(literally and metaphorically) because he is also adamantly well aware that her involvement with him places her in danger.
Won’t stop him from flirting with her and teasing her.
She is also well aware of Jame’s clinical depression and abandonment issues and does what she can to be there for him.
Probably for the best, Ms. Moneypenny does more good as James’ friend than anything.
I thought Money was the handler for 007, perhaps more agents. Not just a simple girl with a security clearance but very clever and designed to handle agents......they can never betray England because England == MoneyPenny.
Every time I see Lois Maxwell my eyes become teary. She is unmatched and her Chemistry with Sir Sean Connery was Phenomenal! I love her so much. ❤️
When Iread that she was dead I wrote a blogpost (on a now sadly defunct platform). Although by that time she had been replaced, she remains the one and only.
@@georger64 That is so nice of you. I wish if I can read it, atleast a part of it courtesy of your memory.
@@Nirsterkur yeah, I wish I could revisit that blogpost and other writings. I wish I could relive that feeling, when some things seemed comstamt and certain people were always around, and I never thought they would some day no longer be. Being young and not thinking about the finality of things, how great that was.
Funny enough, I never cared so much about other actors being replaced or dying. Moneypenny, despite her limited screentime, was somehow special to me. In the little time she had in each film, she was a fully formed character, a personality, much more than Q or M.
@@georger64 I think we both share the same feelings towards her. I can feel my heart pounding faster when I see her. I honestly wish if I could have met her. But I have, once, in my dream. It was myself as 007 with Moneypenny (DN/FRWL/GF version) and Q (LTK version) working as a team on a small mission. Hands down one of the best dreams I have ever seen in my life! ❤️
Yes indeed
Obviously Sean and Maxwell have the best chemistry but I couldn't help but be softened at the chemistry she had with Lazenby. It was very touching.
I think that was the only time Bond ever actually kissed her on the lips.
@revyu6754 yes it was. And it was Lazenby. One film and the dudes a legend in a million ways.
" You always were a cunning linguist, James."- Moneypenny
LOL
💀
Cummint linguist
😏😏😏😏😂🤣
It's a legendary joke
The original Moneypenny was the best
Concur. However, I would divide the _original_ Moneypenny into 2 (or more) eras.
Lois Maxwell is the best and only true Miss Moneypenny. The best are copy cats.
I forgot how long she was with the series
Damn, that grin she has makes you melt!
In my mind Bond never dated Monneypenny because he respected her too much to just date and dump her like he did with all the women he had in his life. Monneypenny is the real Bond Girl that he would eventually marry after his retirement from the field work. I hate fanfics and I just created one, Jesus...
You’re certainly not wrong. Moneypenny is the only female character in the film series to date who can regularly engage in flirtatious banter with Bond without rushing to get into his pants and yet still continue to maintain a good working relationship with him. Not sure if they would necessarily get married considering Bond’s past trauma from losing Tracy, but if he ever did decide to settle down with someone, Moneypenny would be the most consistently plausible candidate.
M and Moneypenny. Only constant women in the Bond franchise
Perhaps he never dated Moneypenny because she wasn't that attractive?
MP is practically the only woman to flirt with Bond and not end up dead.
In the books I believe they had a fling in “the man with the golden gun..
Lois Maxwell is definitely my favorite Moneypenny. She was perfect in the role and always had that indelible spark.
The funny thing is, one of the inspirations for Miss Moneypenny was an SOE Agent who probably did more dangerous stuff then Bond ever did.
What's jaw dropping to me is how the then 40 year old Lois Maxwell looks in You Only Live Twice. She is stunningly hot. That hair style did the trick. It made her seem cool as ice and on the same civil service level as Bond but still approachable and VERY sexy without the producers taking the sexist approach that was so natural during this era of film making. What's even more amazing is she actually looks younger than her appearances in FRWL, Goldfinger and Thunderball. The exception is Dr. No when she was 35. She was the best Moneypenny in all the movies to date. RIP Ms. Maxwell.
I became friends with Lois in the early 80's, and she was still stunning although older. We lunched frequently, and she still turned heads, she certainly had a presence. Wonderful, interesting and a very funny lady.
In Licence to Kill we see Moneypenny like never before and like nothing since. Well done, Caroline Bliss.
Bond never made a play for Moneypenny--because he knew she was too good for him.
Yeah that's what I think too, he respected her too much to date and dump her.
Also he didn't want to make her a target of his enemies.
Connery aged crazy from Dr No to Diamonds....Even you only live...But then after 1980 he never aged again !
Haha that’s brilliant 😂
Moneypenny landing the hat toss is such a great bit
I've scrolled for 1hr more or less through the comments section and I haven't found a single comment on Dalton's Mrs. Moneypenny.
I find her the cutest of the 4 Moneypenny's the franchise has had
Oh Moneypenny. Such a charm 😊.
The original secretary. My personal favourite in "Ohmss" when Bond gets married and he acknowledges her then throws her his hat 😊.
23:25 Say what you will about the film but this moment was golden between M and Moneypenny.
Absolutely agree!
“Don’t ask”
“Don’t tell”
Hahaha!
Really?
I thought it was painful.
She said "cunning... linguist". 😳
Sylvia's reaction at 2:03 is brilliant.
She's going to drain his nuts dry😁😆
She was heart broken at his wedding in her majesty
Lois Maxwell: the best Moneypenny EVER, EVER, EVER!!! I like her in every movie she's in. Even in her later films(FYEO, OP, AVTAK) she is still so charming, gives such a pleasant performance. THE ULTIMATE BOND GIRL!!!
Lois Maxwell should have been a replacement for the charactor M. Perhaps not right after Bernard Lee but certainly before Judi Dench in 'GOLDENEYE' (1995). What a pleasant and fun surprise that would have been :-) ... After all, the name Moneypenny starts with the letter M ... doesn't it?
Absolutely Agreed! ❤️
That’d be fun
Too bad lois maxwell didn't become the new m of sorts in living daylights
she even thought so herself czcams.com/video/nyHoL7_VEZM/video.html
Coincidentally, Roger Moore said the same thing in a interview. He said she would have made a excellent M of MI6. Unfortunately, after Roger retired from the role of Bond, she decided to retire from her role as MoneyPenny.
Kinda makes me sad to know almost everyone from the moore days and older are no longer with us
And all but one person from Goldfinger are all gone
@@danielanderson8322 Eaton?
I love that wedding scene with Lazenby and Maxwell. Loving and bittersweet.
Indeed!
I'm glad someone had commented on this scene. It always stuck with me
yes
Great scene, and also a reminder NEVER to piss off a secretary/admin assistant. Had there been bad blood between the two of them, he would have been gone!
Yes, it was precious! But I've seen "On Her Majesty" like 3 times & didn't realize that was her. I thought that was Bond's Mother in-law crying. Her hat threw me off lol
The switch from Licence to Kill to Goldeneye. Really where the modern bond movies started
I liked the fact that they're all Royal Navy. She had to be at least, a Lt or Lt Commander.
Moneypenny looks great in her Navy uniform...
Her Majesty's sailors would be falling all over her...
Well, I read where Ian Fleming was a commander in the Royal Navy. He was also a MI6 agent. So I think you are right about Lieutenant or Lieutenant Commander.
I'm not english and I read the first four novels from Flemming, but he never explains why the majority of the MI6 is composed of Navy officers, is there any rule about it that he explains in a later novel?
If I had to rank these awesome Miss Moneypenny's over the 60+ years, it'd be: 1) Lois Maxwell, 2) Naomi Harris, 3)Caroline Bliss, 4) Samantha Bond & 5) Pamela Salem (from the non-EON NSNA)...
I have to say... Samantha Bond... Even to me at 11 in 95 I was like Omg she is fine... Now at 37?? Christ almighty I still think that woman is a slice of pure heaven that Brosbond was missing out on!
Samantha Bond.......sigh.
Yes Samantha Bond's Ms. Moneypenny is the most gorgeous !
I thought she looked hottest in GoldenEye with her long red hair, wish they hadn’t cut her hair in later installments.
Absolutely agree 100% she was a great casting and I love how she is more than a match for him! I like how they took the Moneypenny idea in the Craig series and it was a fresh spin but I was hoping before Casino Royale that she was coming back with Judy Dench!
Lois Maxwell should have had at least one film where she went on an adventure with Bond.
(From Russia with Love) After all these years you know I never realized that it was the SAME Sylvia Trench here as in Dr. No. Man I love the continuity, especially as they literally embrace it with the Jamaica bit.
It was very sad to see Roger and the same Moneypenny age together in their last Bond film in 1985.
She was the first and the oldest Moneypenny
The EON producers passed up a chance to have a new Moneypenny and Bond right after Moonraker (arguably a good window of opportunity for a changeover).
True
They were born both in 1927
@@jackthefilmfanatic5924This is true
This channel is amazing. I occasionally need my fix of Bond and you deliver wonderfully.
What a very attractive woman. Class.
The original Ms. Moneypenny is so hot.
Facts
She's cute 😍
Played by Canadian actress Lois Maxwell.
At ten years old Miss M. reminded me of my sister's boarding-school headmistress - no sparks flying then.
That "Scene" from Die Another Day...
Best Blooper/Outtake for a James Bond Flick😂
Lazenby wasn't too bad in his moneypenny scenes. Decent chemistry
Agreed!
Lazenby did not really have the chance to screw himself into our awareness.
Now proved himself to be a complete bellend.....
@@alanhutchins5916 He was the youngest 007. 29 yo on stage. Not much you can accuse him for.
Such cute flirting between Maxwell and Connery
We be doomed without her
Graned it's "non-canon" but I always loved the bit in "Never Say Never Again":
"Did he give you an assignment?"
"Yes...I'm to eliminate all free radicals."
"Ohhhh...do be careful."
(Not knowing M just sent him to a health spa!)
Yes I love that but too.
Lois Maxwell, eternal Miss Moneypenny, the best ever ! So British, so classy, so beautiful ! The best alchemy with bond, fore sure !!
Except Lois is Canadian 🙂
@@yut576 maybe, but she's got a perfect British look
❤️
@@yut576 And Passed Away in Australia in 2007 !!!
And Sassy TOO
Moneypenny is my favorite character in each movie
Connery and the original money penny should have gotten together at least once
"Tell him to come below and report"
"It'd be a pleasure sir"
💀
You forgot the one in From Russia With Love where MI6 team are listening in on James Bond and Tatiana Romanova interlude, especially Miss Moneypenny who once dismissed from the room, continues to listen until M's voice interupts
Lois Maxwell character definitely had a special spirit. Always excellent banter between 007 and Moneypenny. I was unaware that she was a Canadian Actress. Hats off to her in being in 14 James Bond movies!
James always throws his hat onto the stand but you never see him wear it
He wears it in Dr.No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger! Roger Moore's Bond never wore the hat, but threw it.🕵
Gunbarrel entrances
in the old gunbarrels lol
@@EVERYJAMESBOND Odd Job also like to throw the hat. At his enemy. 😃😃
Please Bond producers...bring back the hat throw!
Literally the biggest case of friendzone ever
“Moneypenny, Next time I see you I’ll put you across my knee”
Something tells me she would like that very much when they’re both off duty
James Bond and Moneypenny always come off as husband and wife; no where does that really hit home than with Maxwell, and Samantha *Bond*
Nicely done! I like Samantha Bond ... ("Don't ask" - "Don't tell")
Who doesn’t love Louis Maxwell, so adorable. 🥰
My favorite Lois Maxwell scene doesn't even come from a Bond flick, but rather an early episode of Dangerman. As Drake's contact in the field, she at one point exclaims, "Do you think we sit around all day on our....office stools?"
I've seen "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" like 4 times & didn't realize Moneypenny was in that Easter Blue Suit 😂 I thought that was his Mother in Law, crying at the Wedding
Totally compelling to watch.
Thank you for putting this compilation together.
It is very sincerely appreciated !
22:09 - There's such a stark difference there in the way that relationship worked from the earlier films.
lazenby .. so underrated and so good with diana
The ultimate friendzone queen.
Bond films wouldn't, be the
same without Miss Money Penny !!!.
Thanks for replying.
I love the way men and women could casually slap each other on the wrist and not even flinch. People were a lot stronger back then. These days, you'd be cancelled.
Thank you for this great compilation. Moneypenny seems to be Bond's conscience, and Lois Maxwell is wonderful. I love the scenes with Lazenby, what a cool guy; but my favourite Moneypenny moment is the virtual 'coitus interruptus' with Caroline Bliss in Die Another Day
That was Samantha Bond in Die Another Day
@@oberen my mistake sorry
Lois Maxwell was the greatest Monneypenny ever. She seemed to age WITH Bond as he turned old into Roger Moore lol Samantha Bond (yes her real name WAS actually Bond) didn't do it for me AT ALL she just seemed way too common she just feels like a VERY of the times 90's Moneypenny. Naomi Harris is TOO MUCH like an actual Bond girl lol And her and Daniel Craig just have ZERO chemistry at all and it doesn't FEEL like the Bond-Moneypenny relationship at all. Caroline Bliss COULD have been a perfect Moneypenny had she been given a proper run at it but she came at an awkward time in the franchise and then before you knew it she was gone. Problem she had was the WRONG Bond lol
Moneypenny, charm wit and elegance. She could outwit Bond every time. Lois Maxwell also played the voice of Atlanta Shore in the Gerry & Sylvia Anderson TV series, Stingray.
I love the quips they threw at each other.
"You never take me anywhere".
"We could be court martialed for illegal use of government property". Leaves her his old Beretta .25, in the box. What do you mean, I never give you anything.
Nowadays, that would have all been considered sexual harassment, and he would have been dumped.
Sexual harassment would be if it were unwarranted and unwanted. Moneypenny and Bond were something special. Always familiar and comfortable with each other, you'd think they were smitten. Pretty clearly they reciprocated each other.
Wow you can't tell the difference between consensual flirting and unwanted one? Don't tell the wife
Well, it was pretty clearly consensual but, yes, if she hadn't welcomed it he could have been cancelled for whatever was his first overture. The reverse would of course not be true.
I always enjoyed that line early in Moonraker (not shown here) where M asks her where Bond is and she replies, "He's on his last leg now." And then they show a shot of Moore caressing a woman's thigh. I didn't enjoy the film but I never forgot that line.
And at the end- "What's Bond doing?" "I believe he's attempting re-entry, sir."
Lois Maxwell and Desmond Llewellyn, the two constants in the EON franchise. Both great actors and great chemistry with all the Bonds
She had more dialogue in the bond films than in come fly with me!
Perhaps it is just me, but Lois Maxwell seemed to have changed markedly between #8 (1973) and #9 (1974) - to say nothing of The Spy Who Loved Me through AVTAK.
Didn't she had a lifting before AVTAK?
I like the First Mone Penny much better than the later ones.. 😘
Old-school Moneypenny was straight based. Mommy energy off the charts.
6:02 - THAT was a quick conference! 😄
And Lois Maxwell was - and is - the one and only true Miss Moneypenny!
I feel like they devolved Moneypenny overtime. In the beginning she and Bond had unspoken sexual tension and great banter. But as the series went on, it looked like he has to make an effort to banter with her and she just looks more and more forlorn that he doesn't want her.
I like the relationship she has with Craig's Bond. Sure, there's some flirting, but there's also a really good focus on the friendship between the two.
Yeah, the scenes with Craig are just awkward. I really hope they recast the role for the next set of movies.
I like your compilations. When you update with No Time To Die, remember to include at 20:41 the second Caroline Bliss TLD scene, copyright permitting.
Does anyone else also think that Caroline bliss was incredibly beautiful as moneypenny in the Dalton films?
Absolutly!!
Dude you have my utmost gratitude
MP looked good in her Navy Uniform!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀
And at that time female RN officers wore blue stripes- with a diamond not circle or gold stripes, which male officers had. All the same gold now- tho in between the stripes, sometimes green blue etc (eg for engineers or surgeons/doctors).
That Connery turn at 0:52 is a thing of beauty!
It's a shame the writers couldn't have let her have at least one go with James. Bet she would have tore him up.
That's the beauty of it! It actually shows you Bond does in fact have control and morals, not to mention Professionalism. He knows its actually wrong to have sex in the workplace. Banter is good enough between the two of them
@@Bondmanproductions
"The core of the Bondian world remains the same: obsessed with sex and violence, hyper masculine, simplistically nationalistic, and addicted to conspicuous consumption ."
Christoph Lindner.
Bond bedded around 52 women.
Now what were you saying about morals ...... =^>
Oh, I wasn't talking about the work place like in Money's fantasy, more like "your place or mine?" After hours of course. Yes the writers did like to tease us along for the ride to see if it would ever transpire.
See Skyfall
Considering that almost all Bond's enemies were criminal supervillains and terrorists and other postmodern foes, only once or twice the Russians in the ongoing ideological/values based somewhat post-national struggle of the Cold War, and literally never anything like rival nations and enemies of the UK specifically, it's actually pretty idiotic to call the movies simplistically nationalistic, and for the the most part not the books either. They rather foreshadow the modern fictional world, including of Bond movies, in which international terrorists and supervillains stand as foes to all mankind and against which the British secret service just happens to be a supercool niche player in the struggle to save the world. It does not in anyway resemble the mindset of the wars of nations of yore. If anything, it's quite tiresome to keep seeing reiterations of the form. At least they weren't all SPECTRE. As for women, so Bond bedded 52 visibly enthusiastic sexual partners. Meh. Unrealistic but no moral problem by today's standards. I can't imagine any of them looked at him and expected him to be a keeper who would stick around. Most of them were themselves criminals, assassins, terrorists, Soviet agents [I repeat myself]. I'd only be worried by the fellow SIS agents during missions. That could compromise mission success. @@davidcantwell2489
It's slways facinating reviewing an old case.🤠
I find it interesting how Moneypenny's office equipment is the latest tech in each film. From manual typewriter and mimeo machine to IBM Displaywriter and PC's later in the franchise.
I think the best chemistry was Lois Maxwell with Roger Moore in all their films, and Samantha Bond with Brosnan in Goldeneye.
LOL.
4:02 Sean checking her out lol
What sad about Lois's Moneypenny is that she was still "Ms." Moneypenny.
Really? I thought she was Miss for years. People didn't use Ms. in the mainstream in the 60s.
10:35 - Find yourself a girl that says "yes" in that manner even when it is only for a single tulip
Even 20 years later Connery is back and still the best.
Love how she tries to maintain the "Daphne" with that contrived "Eton by way of Cape Cod" accent, but that underscores the Anglophile in all the Bond women.
The other item you see changing is the portrait of the queen in Moneypenny's office as the time progressed.
"Moneypenny, what gives?" "Me. Given an ounce of encouragement" 😁
And 7 years later, "You never do anything with me."
she has such a lovely laugh and deep voice
Good job with this! At 10:05 "Diamonds are forever" scene when I first saw this I was totally surprised to see Moneypenny in the uniform. I did not even recognize her until Sean Connery did!
Truly the best films ever. Deservingly the longest serving most successful franchise.
8:57 favorite Moneypenny scene
Lois Maxwell may have defined the character and her traits, but you also gotta love Naomie as Moneypenny, she's badass and also very supportive. I'd say she's the best after Maxwell, even surpassing Samantha Bond and Caroline Bliss.
At 8:30, 12:50 and 17:58 the exact same wonderful drawing of the (now) late Queen Elizabeth II on the wall☺️
Cunning linguist is an iconic line 😂😂 and then to follow it up with “don’t ask, don’t tell”.
There's only one Moneypenny. There's only one Q.
