I am on the hunt for Spassky's losses - if they exist - in the King's Gambit.
Who can provide?

https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-name- ... me%20draws)%20is%20unsurpassed.Over the years the most successful practitioner of the King's Gambit has been Boris Spassky. His record of 16 victories and no defeats (with some draws) is unsurpassed. His victims include two of the most illustrious names in chess history – Bobby Fischer and Anatoly Karpov – and his famous brilliancy against Bronstein was used as the opening scene of the Bond movie From Russia with Love.

Not that game, but another game from that (rapidplay) event has video footage (it was a TV tournament):

The King's Gambit game is on chessgames here:

Karpov was winning, made a mistake to end up in a drawn tablebase position (KQN v KQ) and lost that.
Excellent description from someone who saw the TV footage of the game, where the players describe their thoughts afterwards:
