At the time of his 007 stint, the whole world and it's wife had the knives out for Dalton but in retrospect many now consider his peformance of a more maverick Bond to be one of the franchise's best. I just wonder how many of those now praising Dalton were also the ones complaining about him back in the day. I concur on Craig's contribution too and i still think he's not an ideal choice for the role.

According to an interview with Brian Trenchard-Smith in the latest issue of The Dark Side, Lazenby was only too well aware after the fact that he'd dropped a major career clanger by forsaking any further appearances as Bond. I also agree OHMSS does indeed boast a superb score.
