James Bond is having trouble with his cell phone. “I seem to be having a bloody problem with this. It was acting up earlier this morning.” Turns out 007, or actually the actor who famously played the dashing spy just once, isn’t as tech savvy as his on-screen counterpart. George Lazenby is speaking from his home in Santa Monica, 50 years to the day since the release of his one and only James Bond film, 1969’s “On Her Majesty's Secret Service.” Once considered the forgotten Bond film, the movie is now viewed as one of the strongest entries in the...
