Goofs
When depicting the route that Lazenby's ship takes from Australia to England, around the 26:20 minute mark, the country of Sri Lanka is shown in the wrong place. In actuality, Sri Lanka lies below India, and not to it's side in the Bay of Bengal, as depicted in the map. See more »Quotes

I did not know about Mr. Lazenby's background (as a model and non-actor), so I'm even more surprised at the great job he did performing as James Bond. He had a smooth delivery and looked right at ease in the role. I never understood why he didn't star in another James Bond movie until this film. It was great listening to his life story, and I'm glad he did well after the Bond role. It's too bad he was black-listed after the Bond movie 'cause he had a great screen presence. Wonderful person and full of life - thoroughly enjoyed "Becoming Bond."
