It's worth noting that John Gavin was actually signed to play Bond in Diamonds Are Forever 3 years after his OSS117 effort, but had to be contractually paid out when Connery dicided to do it (for a cool million dollars) at the 11th hour.
I guess Gavin originally got the job based on his efforts in this movie.
I love these eurospy reviews you do, mate.

Thanks so much Chiops! I've got a bunch more coming, so stay tuned!
DeleteDamn, Gavin would have done one hell of a job with Diamonds Are Forever. That would have been interesting to see.
Can't wait for the next eurospy review.
