Lazeby MIGHT WELL have made an EXCELLENT Bond....but IF they took the "Lighter tone" that some later Roger Moore Bond films took it would have been awful....pure Ham !

Played straighter had Lazenby got THREE Bond films under his Belt I feel sure he would have been MUCH more highly thought of....while Bond as a character would have stayed closer to both Ian Fleming's idea...and Sean Connery's original Bond film version....the Blue suits, the Gold Lover, the Aston Martin etc....with Roger Moore they later altered it all to suit Rog's smoother version ...

George Lazenby DID make "O.H.M.S.S." very much HIS Bond film...as Connery had done with "Goldfinger", Moore did with "Live and Let Die", Dalton did with "Licence To Kill", Brosnan did with "Goldeneye" & Craig did with "Casino Royale"

Each of those Bond films very much BELONGS to the Respective Bond Actor !

Personally im very glad he got out of playing bond for the next several films. We got one more official Connery movie and 7 sweet Moore films!

As for George Lazenby being a excellent bond... well thats purely ones Opinion!

Yeah it would've been interesting to really see Lazenby come into his own as Bond over another movie or two... He could've had a revenge film following OHMSS and then a more classic-Bond-orientated adventure for film #8.
