So I saw another article bashing George Lazenby as James Bond...


PNQ: Was he really that bad?


It's been awhile since I watched On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but I remember it being okay. Not one of the best, but certainly not one of the worst either (Moore certainly put out clunkers worse than OHMSS).


In fact, I think most of the trouble comes back to a perennial problem: the creators wanted to cover their butts by telling Lazenby to perform like Connery performing Bond, not how HE would perform bond. And Lazenby was never going to be a good Sean Connery.



(And yes, Lazenby saying "This never happened to the other fellow" was profoundly stupid, but that's the writer's mistake, not his)
