Plot-wise, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE was a
remake of Dr. NO, but with a far bigger budget. The
idea of JAMES BOND becoming Japanese is ludicrous,
and while it may work in the book (if it's even in the book
- I forget), on screen it's like an idea from a 'CARRY ON'
film. There are some good moments, but, as was evident
in THUNDERBALL, Scots star SEAN CONNERY was
starting to look a little tired of the role. By the time he
returned in DIAMONDS Are FOREVER, the
role was looking tired of him.
Enjoy the trailer.
