Bond meets a rival intelligence operative who is more than his match in 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me," when he's paired with Soviet secret agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach). Cunning, deadly, and beautiful, Amasova and Bond agree to work together to stop megalomaniacal shipping tycoon Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) from triggering nuclear war between the United States and Soviet Union. While en route to Stromberg's submersible headquarters in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Amasova decides to take a quick shower on board an American submarine.
Amasova's shower serves as both a bit of eye candy and the quick punchline to a joke, with the Soviet agent using the private bathroom of submarine commander Carter (Shane Rimmer) to bathe. When a sailor on board the submarine delivers a message to his commander, he catches a small glimpse of the naked Amasova showering, resulting in a wry quip from Carter ("What's the matter, sailor? You never seen a major taking a shower before?"). While quick and concealed by a tempered glass door, the scene does reveal a compromising side to Amasova ahead of the movie's climax.
