Add a CommentOverlong. It has the trappings of a Bond movie, but not the essence. And it's interminable. I like those trappings and I like Diana Rigg, but they only help keep this movie afloat, not save it. And it is REALLY overlong, with 30, or better 40, minutes cut out it might have been a 3 * movie.
The one oddity in the mix, this has George Lazenby playing the MI-6 agent, and this is the *only* fault one can find with the film. The box office sales were solid, but not quite as big as the ones when Connery was playing the part. The promotion wasn't as good as previous, which is probably the cause of it, and United Artists admitted as much afterword. DIANNA RIGG!!! AS A BOND GIRL!!! ABLE TO FIGHT OFF THE ATTACKERS AND LOOK HOT WHILST DOING SO! HUBBA-HUBBA! [ahem] Blofeld is being played by Telly Savalas, providing possibly one of the best voices for the character ever (apt, given the Svengali-like nature of the role in the story). The location of his lair is phenomenally cool as well. The sub-plot of romance is, while unique, perfect for a character who must ultimately travel the world of danger with nary a concern for anything except the present moment (SPOILER: the romance doesn't come to a long-lasting end). This is the only way the aspect of 'love' might be introduced to a Bond story. DID I MENTION *DIANNA RIGG*? The action is excellent, the gadgets all but entirely absent (the only one is a bit of multi-purpose office equipment used to crack a safe and photostat documents), the clothes only occasionally ridiculous, and the writing extremely well done. So, what's the problem? As stated, this has George Lazenby playing the MI-6 agent. There's something about him that doesn't fit. It's tough to put your finger on, but might be either his youth ridding the eye of a gaze of bitter experience, or it might be the lack of 'star power' to his gaze to draw you into his mind, or something about his acting lacking 'thought' to the viewer. The best way to sum it up however, is the fact that Jennifer wouldn't sleep with him. More than anything, Bond must be bed-able. Thus I add, THANK HEAVENS FOR *DIANNA RIGG*!!!
