It would have been interesting to have seen Timothy Dalton in one or two more outings as Bond. I recall reading somewhere that they were about ready to have him in For Your Eyes Only (1981), but he backed out (apparently at the last minute). And you can see that even though Roger Moore was good in that one, that there were parts of the movie that could perhaps have been that more better and real had Dalton been Bond.

I read that Dalton was offered the Bond role in the early 1970s...However, he said no...He thought that he was too young to play Bond...

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is a fine Bond film...Roger Moore was great in that movie...Don’t forget Carole Bouquet also...
