George Lazenby was foolish not to continue playing James Bond as he was a good one. Lazenby thought the Bond series would go nowhere because of the rising hippie movement.

He couldn't have been more wrong.

Lazenby was taking advice from the wrong people alright. I often wonder what Diamonds are Forever would have been like had he stuck around. His performance in OHMSS is under-rated by casual observers. I particularly like his athleticism and the scene in Teresa’s hotel suite. If Connery had been in OHMSS people would doubtless regard as a lock for best of the series. The better Bond films are generally the ones with strong plots and villains regardless of who was playing 007.

I agree... Lazenby had it going on, he needed to develop it.
