To this day the most memorable line Bond speaks in TMWTGG may be "Phu Yuck?!?" Nothing like a 1974 Thai wine that probably has a screw cap.

Hey, that's classy. I was surprised it didn't come in a cardboard box.
Bangkok in 1974? It's probably a small miracle it wasn't smoked through a pipe.
Yeah, Johnny Stompanato. A gangster, with the most perfect gangster name ever.
That's the one. Then Lana Turner's daughter ended up stabbing the mobster to death to save her mother, later on.

President Trump said that he will impose an 100% tariff on 'any and all' films produced in a 'foreign land.'variety.com
After this stupid decision, it shouldn't be surprising if the new James Bond movies start being shot in a studio in America instead of England.

So, what would 'For Your Eyes Only' been like had it been the movie that followed 'TSWLM' as originally planned?
How far along were they in the script before they decided to go with 'Moonraker'?
Would it have been a lower stakes movie like what eventually ended up on screen, or would it have been more in keeping with 'TSWLM'?
One thing is for certain, we wouldn't have gotten the cast that we did. No Topol or Julian Glover and no Carole Bouquet.

That's who my late mother always thought would have made a good Bond around the time Craig was hired.
Found in a Facebook Bond Group. It's AI, but the closest we'll ever get to a group photo of all six Bond actors.

That is not a flattering image of Craig. I don't know why, but maybe it's because, imho, Craig stands out in an odd sort of way when situated among the other Bonds. If it was just an image of Craig by himself, perhaps the oddity wouldn't be noticeable.
That's clearly 1983 Sean Connery from the NSNA period.
Your useless James Bond fact for the day:
I love the fact that about one-sixth of those liaisons are just at Piz Gloria in 1969.
