The pistachios were Topol's idea. He suggested that his character Milos Columbo should be constantly eating them, and the detail became one of the most memorable things about For Your Eyes Only (1981) — a Bond ally defined not by gadgets or stunts but by a nervous habit that turns tense scenes into something more human. John Glen directed his first Bond film here, pulling back from the increasingly absurd spectacle of the late Moore era and returning to something closer to Ian Fleming's "Risico," the short story that provided the Columbo character.

Columbo wears a gold-toned watch visible in close-up shots, paired with a gold ring. It has not been identified. A Greek smuggler who deals in gold and diamonds wearing a gold watch is on the nose, but Columbo is not subtle about his wealth — he is a pirate who happens to be honest about it, which is what makes him useful to Bond and dangerous to Kristatos.
