I really liked Roger Moore and thought he was brilliant as THE SAINT, Lord Brett Sinclair in THE PERSUADERS! and in certain other film roles, but I thought he was the second worst James Bond after George Lazenby, who I also liked in general. I guess if one if referencing Bond to the original books by Flemming, then perhaps I can see why Moore would not appeal to hardcore fans. I like Moore as 007, just because he was Moore. I thought in The Spy Who Loved Me, he was really in his element. Connery is the better actor. Lazenby was one of the first Bonds I saw, along with Dr. No. Didn't like No, but loved OHMSS and I was only about 7. OHMSS is one of my favourite Ian Fleming novels, along with FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE.
However, George Lazenby nearly ruined the film for me, along with Telly Savalas, another actor I like but who was miscast as Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Thankfully the rest of the cast pretty much saved the day, especially Gabriele Ferzetti as Marc-Ange Draco, Diana Rigg as Countess Tracy di Vicenzo and Ilse Steppat as Irma Bunt.
