This is the James Bond everyone forgets, mainly because it is missed by most TV channels and it stars the Australian George Lazenby, who went from chocolate commercial to big-screen career disaster. Wittily written (by Richard Maibaum and Simon Raven) and pacily directed (by Peter Hunt), it has excitement galore. Yet the chemistry between Diana Rigg and Lazenby is nonexistent.

Thanks to `Christoph` for the alert.
