Jerry,
	Haven't seen the film (don't much like Bond movies) so I don't
know the plot, but I reckon that the title is a transformation of a line
in the traditional English fox-hunting (yes, we're still allowed to do
appalling things like fox-hunting over here :-( ) song "D'ye ken John Peel"
"from the view to the kill in the morning."  Is that any help?
