Yep. He was hammier than Telly Savalas in OHMSS.
May I direct you to Post #20? LOL! What a BARFER!
Chris always hams it up but he is a riot. One of his bad girls in the movie was a tall blond that was hot. I am NOT talking about Grace Jones.
Her name is Alison Doody and she is Irish. She looks like Catherine Denuve. Stunning.
I saw OHMSS for the first uncut and uninterrupted in many years, I think HBO, about 25 years ago, showed them all one time only.
My Observations
1) Sean Connery could have never pulled this movie off. Lazenby might not have the best actor to play Bond (he might have been too young for this particular film), but of the three Bonds at the time, he was the best for this film. This film was more a “Fleming” James Bond movie not a “Cubby” Broccoli James Bond movie.
2) Diana Rigg was stunning in this movie. I think she did a good acting job, eventhough the novel had Tracy Draco as a blond. In the Bond novels, there is a lot of sybolism regarding the hair color of a woman. Her role on the Avengers probably made people think less of her as a Bond woman than others.
3) Telly Savalas did fine as Bloefeld. Maybe it just seemed odd that Bloefeld had an american accent. He did a better job than Charles Grey in DAF.
4) Angela Scoular was H-O-T-T (as Ruby).
