Theres usually an American character at one point in the films (I'm a Brit by the way) its either Felix Leiter or Jack Wade etc. But these two films if I remember correctly are completely Eurocentric. Even Blofelds 'Angels of Death' are European or Asian.

The American set Bonds have plenty of American characters. The other Eurocentric films ie FYEO and TLD had Americans in there somewhere (Bibi, Felix). Even OP featured an American base commander in West Germany. Spy had an American submarine, MR an American agent. And the Brosnan years were mostly American Bond girls.

Am I wrong? Were there any other films like this?

    Dani Sheridan played The American Girl of Blofeld's Angels of Death in OHMSS

    And how about that man Kronsteen beat chess in? He's Canadian if that counts.

    No.

    But then was Bibi Canadian or American?

    Pedro Armendáriz was Mexican. Not sure if that counts. Virginia North was born to an American father.

    Bibi was played by Lynn-Holly Johnson, who's most certainly American (research tells me she was born in Chicago). Methinks it's safe to assume that Bibi's meant to be American too...

    That chap with the cigar at the Casino in OHMSS who spouts the line "The dame can't pay up" was almost certainly cast as an American character.

    I thought Blofeld was supposed to be Greek, e.g. his middle name of Stavro.

    His mother was Greek, his father was Polish.

    Telly Savalas was born in New York to Greek parents.
