RE: Glad to see OHMSS as #2. It’s my favorite.

If it’s so good, why wasn’t George Lazenby retained as James Bond?

It was Lazenby’s decision not to return to the role, even before the movie was released. Lazenby did not want to be controlled by the producers, so he walked.

I think their analysis hits it. The only thing wrong with OHMSS is Lazenby himself. It would be an excellent candidate for a semi-remake. In the same way that The Spy who Loved Me was a remake of You only Live Twice. It would be fairly easy. Move the location from the Alps to the Balkans and have the Russian mob replace the Mafia.
