Still much better than the movie, despite it being incomplete.

Dramatically changed for the film. No Jamaica. No attempted assassination of M. The Japanese fisherman part worked into “You Only Live Twice” (but as a pretext to get into Blofeld’s Volcanic Lair, not afterwards).

While it wasn’t a bad film, it was perilously close to cartoonish as the ‘70s Bonds were (Herve Villechaize’s Nick-Nack, the ludicrous reappearance of Sheriff J.W. “We’re Democrats !” Pepper. Why would he be visiting Southeast Asia ? The most exotic place he’d likely ever go would be Shreveport). Christopher Lee’s excellent performance saved the film. Moore did OK. Connery would’ve done better, though no revelation.
