    Lazenbys career was Bond only. He didn’t do much else acting wise.

    The Man From Hong Kong was the only other significant lead film role of his career.
    Of course he had leading roles in "Stoner" and "A Queen's Ransom" but neither of those films recieved significant theatrical releases outside of Hong Kong.

    He was in a superb giallo called "Who Saw Her Die?" Also featuring TB's Adolfo Celi and with music by none other than Ennio Morricone. Highly recommended.

    He was quite thin in this movie.

    Tried watching that a few months ago. Couldn't get past the dreadful dubbing.

    Well these giallo films all suffer a bit from questionable dubbing, but personally I'm so much enjoying the gloomy atmosphere, the wacky music, the intruiging mysteries, the crazy twists, the superb shot compositions, etc. that poor dubbing can't bring down the fun for me. Just like poor dubbing also can't bring down the fun with spaghetti westerns for me either.

    The thing with spaghetti westerns is they are essentially fun entertainment so the dubbing doesn't matter so much. Who Saw Her Die is about child abduction so the performances and story should be what you focus on - not the dubbing.

    Who Saw Her Die? (1972) FULL MOVIE

    Haven't heard of this movie before today....

    George Lazenby lost 35 pounds for this role.

    Controversial take: he talked a good game and really did look great in a turtleneck, with beard and long hair ....

    I think Broccoli still had to come to terms he'd gotten a new leading man, and they misjudget the impact of that. They learned their lesson, but it's a pity it had to come at the cost of Lazenby.

    On March 30, 2025, the authors of the coffee-table book "The Goldfinger Files" will present their second book, "The Blofeld Files" in a special event on the Schilthorn.

    The new book is "a photo book and a historical document that places the production of the film in the vibrant socio-cultural context of the late 1960s. It offers an intimate, unadulterated insight into the world of the Bond creators and the characteristic atmosphere of that time - both in front of and behind the camera."

    How very sweet, full of behind the scenes pictures that so far were never publicly available. A hefty price tag, but I bet it's worth every penny of it. No international delivery, though? I hope that gets fixed soon.
